After installing CCS with the PRU compiler, you can simply just use the compiler as a command-line compiler (like all the other TI compilers) and ignore the CCS IDE. The installer is only about 20MB download to start with and then it downloads the rest as needed. It's a quick install on Linux

Sorry - I am not using Bluetooth or BLE with the BBGW. One guess based on WiFi would be to check if there is a "power save" option for BLE. I've noticed with WiFi that with power save "on" connections are slower and more random. Mark On Fri, Jul 8, 2016 at 2:05 AM wrote: >
