Dedicated firmware for CE Test

[thmalm]

Hi,

We are in process of performing CE Certification on a product with the nRF9160 module mounted.

The lab wants to perform conducted testing on the module with the antenna connected wired to their test equipment, and using a test sim-card of their own.

Is there a specific "certification test firmware" for this to download somewhere on the Nordic web? Or how do I proceed?

Thanks, Thomas

PS! Got pretty low knowledge about this, got it dropped in my knees since the resources behind our firmware and electronic design is no longer available.

Hi,

The nRF9160 supports Nordic-proprietary RF test AT commands for certification testing purposes. Specifically, the %XRFTEST AT command can be used to perform RF functionality tests that are relevant for certification and that can be used with the test SIM
