Please check out the Bluetooth qualification guide we have available here and follow the steps there. I think following the steps for a "pre-qualified design" should be enough for you in this case. But I know very little about your design and application, so take that with a pinch of salt: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/protocols/bt/bt_qualification/index.html#pre-qualified-design

Hi Simonr

Thanks for the support. Here are the steps I took:

1. Installed the SDK v2.6.1.

2. Adapted the example ncs/v2.5.0/nrf/samples/bluetooth/direct_test_mode to work on my custom board.

3. Successfully tested the DTM functionality using the nRF Connect for Desktop application.

Now, I need to provide information to the test house to demonstrate that the soft controller has undergone official BLE certification. Could you guide me on where to find this necessary information?

Thanks again for the great support!

Best regards,

Bob

Hi Bob

Please check out the "Defining custom board" section in our documentation here. You can use the nRF52840 DK board file as reference for this.

Best regards,

Simon

Thank you for your reply Simonr. I am used to using Zephyr. However willing to use the DTM example from Nordic. What is the easiest way to get a custom board working with that example? It is an nr52840 board with UART on a different pinning than the Development kit with the same MCU.

All pointers in the right direction are helpful

Thanks

Bob

Is there a reason you need to use the Zephyr framework and can't use the nRF Connect SDK DTM sample as is for your use case? I would need to ask the developers for some details on whether this is possible or not, as I think some of the configs you're trying to add here is "NCS specific".

Best regards,

Simon
