Hi All,

I have the following code:

int main()
{
    UART_Start();

    int len = 6;
    uint16 tx_array [len];

    for (;;)
    {
        tx_array [0] = 0xFFFF;
        tx_array [1] = 0x6C56;   
        tx_array [2] = 0x6461;  
    
        CyDelay (100);
        UART_SpiUartPutArray (tx_array, len);
    }
}

It works fine with Hyper Terminal, but IO have a warning of incompatible pointer type.

"passing argument 1 of 'UART_SpiUartPutArray' from incompatible pointer type"

According to the datasheet the function can take uint16 * or uint8 * as first parameter. What is more interesting GDB crashes when I want to look into the way UART transmits the data:

"/home/build/work/GCC-4-9-build/src/gdb/gdb/utils.c:1056: internal-error: virtual memory exhausted: can't allocate 1049375820 bytes.\nA problem internal to GDB has been detected,\nfurther debugging may prove unreliable.\nCreate a core file of GDB? "

The only thing on the TopDesign is the UART component (SCB type).

Does anyone have any ideas about the warning and the crash?

Thanks,

Stoyan

I'm slowly diving in to the world of BLE. The BLE pioneer kit and the examples have been very helpful and I was able to generate my own custom device/profile.

The end goal is to have a a number of BLE sensors that all connect to a single "central".

- Data rate: very low (2-4 bytes/minute) from each sensor

- Battery life: important but not critical. 

- Security: Some basic security, so that data can't be read just by any smartphone. But don't need anything advanced, none of the data is sensitive.

- Number of sensors: 10 to 20

The question is: How do I architecture this?

Do my sensors send notifications or indications?

Should sensors wake up on 1min interval and waits for connection, while the "central" is scanning for devices? Then "central" connects securely, reads data and the slave goes back to sleep?

How do I implement basic security? Should sensors have the "central" added to the white-list (hard-coded)?

Thank you,

Boris.

Hi,

I am very interested in the mesh flood example (Day 49 in the 100 projects/100 days) for a project I am working on, indeed it is almost  exactly what I need.

What I want to do is make one of the PSOC BLE's a controller who's only role is to send our the RGB data at the push of a button.  I am looking at modifying the existing mesh flood example code, and hopefully simplifying it greatly.  I am new to BLE, and it is wildly more complicated than the BT serial links I am used to dealing with.  

Where do I start with this?  Do I need to modify the custom profile?  Are any of the examples similar to what I am trying to do?  

I saw Cypress had a demo at CES that was very similar to what I am looking for with a proximity sensor controlling light bulbs that were in a mesh - does this code exist somewhere?

Thank you,
Tom

Hello Folks,

I am running the sample of HR sensor on PSOC4 BLE Pioneer Kit.  On the client side I am running BlueZ stack on a Intel Edison board. But immediately after doing a "connect <mac> ", disconnect happens.  Is this normal?  Shouldn't the connection remain.  Is their anything I can write in code to prevent this disconnection.  I am new in BLE, so please guide me.

Thanks,

Hi,

     I have the CY8CKIT-042-BLE kit and have used the CY5670 dongle with CySmart 1.2 and it has been very useful.  Now suddenly CySmart won't see the dongle.  It brings up a dialog that says I have to update the firmware to C:\Program Files(x86)\Cypress\Cysmart1.2\dongle\CY5670\BLE_4_1_Dongle_CySmart_128K.hex.

 But when I open PSoc Programmer 3.24.2 It says the dongle is running that file. (see  PNG attached)

So it has the correct file but still won't use  it.  All my Cypress programs have been updated to current, Any suggestions what I can do ?

Thank you,

Hi,

On a PRoC BLE, we can configure a GPIO in Open Drain, pulls low.  What is the maximum voltage we can put on the pin and sink?

E.g. if VCC is 1.8V, can we sink a 3.3V LED?  The electrical characteristics mentions one thing to do with GPIOs - a tolerance of +0.5V, and as a digital input I can see why that would be, but how about as an Open Drain?

Thanks, Dave

Hello everyone,

                      I want to send a variable string (for eg.: varying ADC value) to a computer using SCB-UART component. How can I achieve this?

The kit I am using is CY8CKIT-042-BLE and I also making use of TeraTerm emulator to observe the string sent via UART. Is there any api that I can make use of in order to send a variable string of characters??
