SimpleLink Zephyr Maintenance Release Demo 2 Release Notes

Texas Instruments Zephyr GitHub repository is the downstream fork of
Zephyr and is the starting point
for developers wanting to start developing Zephyr applications.

The SimpleLink™ downstream Zephyr releases are intended as an additional demo
platform and eventually where the production grade TI SimpleLink™ Zephyr SDKs
will be hosted. The team is also working on upstreaming this content to
mainline Zephyr.

Disclaimer

This release is provided as-is and should be considered beta quality.
This product is meant for demonstration purposes only.

Supported Devices

Device Board Quality Level
CC2340R5 LP_EM_CC2340R5 Beta
CC2340R53 LP_EM_CC2340R53 Beta - only tested on samples/bluetooth/mesh

Other devices and boards have not been tested in this release.

What's New

BLE:

  • Mesh
  • On-chip FOTA with Peripheral
  • Off-chip FOTA with Peripheral

Fixed Issues

  • Renamed crc-tool to ti-simplelink-crc-tool to match pip package name

Known Issues & Limitations

Debug:

  • OpenOCD support for XDS110 + CC23x0 is not complete
    • When using XDS110 Code Composer Studio or Uniflash should be used for flash/debug
    • This is being worked on currently

BLE:

  • Central GATT Write example can only be executed in cc2340R53 due to RAM limitations.
  • Potential DMA conflicts between SimpleLink Crypto Drivers and Zephyr Peripheral drivers such as UART.
  • Secure connections pairing has limited testing
  • Mesh requires a BT_PERIPHERAL_PREF_TIMEOUT of at least 150 to prevent a supervision timeout during provisioning
    • This is automatically handled during build
  • FOTA requires logging to be disabled to be executed on cc2340r5 due to RAM limitations.

Drivers:

  • Standby is not supported

Test Coverage

  • Connection between devices running Central and Peripheral examples, which includes cases for:
    • Resolvable Private Address (RPA)
    • Secure Connection Establishment
    • Send data packets through GATT Write
  • Connection with Android Phone and device running Peripheral example.
    • Using TI SimpleLink Connect
  • Connection with Android Phone and device running Peripheral Device Info (DIS) example.
    • Using TI SimpleLink Connect
  • HCI UART, which includes cases for:
    • Resolvable Private Address (RPA)
    • Secure Connection establishment
    • Send/Receive Data Packets
    • BLE Qualification Tests based on HCI UART example
  • BLE FOTA tested using Android phone as Central including:
    • Off-chip and On-chip
  • BLE Mesh 7 node network provisioned and configured with Android phone including:
    • Health, Configuration, and Generic ON/OFF Server and Client models
    • Subscribing and publishing to groups
    • Binding application keys
    • Interoperability with third parties
    • Removing and re-provisioning to network

Versioning
