Radio Test nRF52833

[andychess]

We're building a prototype board which uses the nRF52833 and want to tune the RF components.  The radio_test sample in SDK 3.0.0 doesn't seem to support the nRF52833 SoC.  Is there an alternative way to generate a test signal without reverting to the DTM software?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi

I just did a quick test on my end and did not have trouble with building either for nRF52833 nor for the nRF54L15DK. The nRF52833 isn't specifically tested with the radio_test sample, but it should work just fine as it is very similar to the nRF52840 for almost all intents and purposes.

Regarding the build error you're seeing for the nRF54L15 DK, please make sure the Toolchain also matches the nRF Connect SDK version, and that you choose the correct board target (nRF54L15dk/nrf54l15/cpuapp).

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simon,

Thanks for the quick response.  I realised that there is a mismatch between the toolchain and nrf version in my west workspace.

I updated the nrf folder to SDK 3.0.0. but still get the error.  I've been working with a west workspace (~/nordic/ncs) under macos.  The v3.0.0 toolchain is installed in /opt/nordic/ncs/toolchains and the sdk itself under /opt/nordic/ncs/v3.0.0. 

I have several projects in the workspace and they generally build without problems, although I have noticed today that they are using the zephyr-sdk-0.17.0 toolchain in ~.

There was a guide to setting up a west workspace for non-vscode users like myself, but I couldn't find it today.  Could you let me have a link please, assuming the document still exists? 

Also, what is the recommended directory structure for the macos with a third party IDE?  Do I need to use a workspace at all?

Many thanks in advance.

Andy
