8 Installing Bluetopia Platform Manager

TI Bluetooth Stack (based on Bluetopia) is provided with the WL18xx or CC256x devices. It is composed of Bluetooth protocol stack, Bluetooth profiles stack and a Platform Manager. The Bluetooth Add-On Packages can be re-built and used with any ARM Linux for WL18xx/ CC256x platforms. But for convenience ready to use pre-built binaries built with TISDK processor tool chain are released with the BluetopiaPM stack. The stack is not part of TI AM335x/AM47x/AM57x platform SDK but is available as an add-on that can be downloaded from the Software Requirements section.

The package is downloaded as a tar ball and should be extracted (in a Linux machine).

The tar ball includes two Linux installers: for 32bit and 64bit release. Please use the right one according to your Host Development platform type. The following demonstrates the 64bit case:

$ chmod +x ./AM335xBluetopiaLinuxProduction-4.2.1.1.1.0-linux-x64-installer.run
$ ./AM335xBluetopiaLinuxProduction-4.2.1.1.1.0-linux-x64-installer.run

When the installer completes, the installation directory should include Bluetopia Platform Manager (BluetopiaPM) Binaries, Sources and Documentation.

• Binaries - includes pre-compiled sample applications, BluetopiaPM server daemon and BluetopiaPM Client libraries.
• Sources - platform specific files (to enable recompiling for different platforms) and sample applications code.
• Documentation - License docs, users guides and API specifications.
• The installation directory can be updated during the installer execution. The default is

~/AM335xBluetopiaLinuxProduction-4.2.1.1.1.0/
