Is there any USB dongle can be used to test BLE function of chip nRF54L15?

Hello  Nordic,

I am running a project, use the chipset is nRF54L15, I want to know if there is any USB dongle with software can be used to test BLE function of chip nRF54L15? Just test RX ((Power level. Frequency)

Hi,

You can use the radio test sample for testing RX performance by counting packets. Both the device under test and a dongle or DK must be running the radio test sample:

This can however only work for counting the number of packet received  and will not give you the RSSI of the received packet.

If you just need the RSSI and channel you can use the RSSI Viewer application in nRF Connect for desktop. This gives you the RSSI for all the BLE channels, so it will pick up any RF radiation in the 2.4GHz band, like other BLE devices or WiFi.

The Direct test mode application in nRF connect for desktop can also be used for testing, both the DK/dongle and the device under test must be running the direct test mode sample:
