I want to design a Hardware using the nRF51 Dongle as the reference Design. The plan is to take the Altium Files of the Dongle, remove the Debugger-Part, an leave the RF Part exactly as it isen-USTelligent Community 13Mon, 18 Jan 2016 10:06:29 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/42861?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 18 Jan 2016 10:06:29 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:2902c71b-c0d1-4eee-9090-93f35086a3c8&#216;yvind Karlsen<p>Hi,</p> <p>For Bluetooth SIG you could in theory do what you are suggesting, however we still recommend doing a retest. Either way you will have to get it FCC approved. Please consult the <a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/nordic/download_resource/20345/5/13233895">regulatory and compliance standards</a> whitepaper for more information.</p> <p>If you do an exact copy and only remove the debugger part, the RF performance should be identical.</p> <p>Best regards,</p> <p>Øyvind</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
