2.1 Download and Install BLE-Stack

The latest BLE software can be downloaded at www.ti.com/ble-stack.

After the BLE-Stack software installation is complete, the USB dongle driver must be associated with the device to use the BTool application. To associate the USB dongle driver, first connect the USB dongle to the USB port of the PC, or to a USB hub that connects to the PC.

The first time the dongle is connected to the PC, a message pops up indicating that Windows does not recognize the device.

The driver is found in the Accessories\ Drivers folder in the default install directory. For more information on how to install the driver, refer to the CC2540/41 Mini Development Kit User Guide (SWRU270).
