Bluetooth Qualification

[tommy]

We are considering to implement ”ASCS/BAP/CAP/CSIP/PACS” as the BLE profile.

Do you have any QDID for this profile certified in SDK 2.3.0?
If yes, please provide each of QDID.

Hi

So regarding your second question, it's not very straight forward, and the short answer would be no here. But here is some additional information for reference:

To run the QDID tests, you need PTS, which is a GUI program by the BT SIG that runs these tests on an IUT. However, running all these tests manually takes 20+ hours, so we are using an automatic framework called AutoPTS (https://github.com/auto-pts/auto-pts). This is a Python application that can run as a server on a Windows machine running PTS in auto mode, and as a client on a PC connected to the IUT.

The AutoPTS defines and implements a protocol called BTP which is used to communicate between the PC and the IUT. Zephyr has a test application called "BT Tester" (https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/tree/main/tests/bluetooth/tester) which implements and supports the BTP. This BT Tester application implements and supports most (all?) of the LE Audio profiles, which allows us to run PTS tests automatically without any user input. 

If you want to run PTS on your own, you have the following options: 

1) Use PTS with AutoPTS and the BT Tester application. Fork and modify the BT Tester or create Pull Requests if you find any issues.

2) Use PTS with AutoPTS and your own test application that implements BTP (also possible to add something like a shell middle layer if you'd like.

Thus, we don't have a tester program specifically for the Audio DK as of now, but it should be possible to build and flash with the Bluetooth Tester application.

Simon,

The QDID is released as SDK2.8.0 as planned,
But as far as we have checked by Bluetooth SIG,  it does not include LE Audio.
Bluetooth DNs and QDIDs

Will it be released as 3.0.0 or later?

And is that a long way off?

[Simonr]

You should have been contacted by one of our sales representatives or product managers by mail regarding an answer this. Here on DevZone we try to avoid speculating in upcoming features, and don't have road maps etc. of if/when features are being added.

Best regards,

Simon

Simon,

Thanks, we will be talking with Paal and John about the schedule of SDK and QDID continuously.

As Bluetooth SIG member, we have received the news letter ; "Changes to Qualification Workspace Testing Requirements in January"

On 2025-01-08,

- IOPT

- QPRD v3

are updated.

And it is expected to significantly delay the process of obtaining the QDID.

Are there any changes to the original schedule of the planned SDK release?
