nrf52840 qualification: exclude features

[amiramin]

Hi,

For one of our ntf52840 based product, we want to have Bluetooth qualification. We have following configuration:

- Using pcb antenna 

- Using nrf5 SDK 17.2 with SD140 v7.3.0

- Using QIAAF0 (revision 3) package 

- Using custom BT service for our application

- Using both BLE peripheral and central modes

- Only using 1 Mhz PHY

- No pairing/bonding

As recommended on Nordic website (https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/comp_matrix_nrf52840/page/COMP/nrf52840/nrf52840_ble_qdid_qual_matrix.html), We included QDID 138767 which automatically adds Host and Controller layers. 

Do we have to exclude all BLE features we don't use? like paring/bonding, 2 MHz and coded PHY. Otherwise, qualification process will test all features part of the softdevice ? 

Thanks for the clarification.

Hi Amir

You can just use the QDIDs as-is. There's no need for additional testing either as all is covered within the QDIDs you select. Remember to start the registration with "no required testing", else you end up in a situation where all sorts of things needs to be re-tested.

Best regards,
