nRF52 Bluetooth Certification, Hopping mode

[Nano]

I'm in a situation similar to the one described in this question:

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../

The company performing the test ask me to provide a device that can switch in between the lowest, middle and highest frequency (channels) and a 4th mode that do the hopping among all the channels.

Taking a look at the DTM example the first 3 modes look easy to implement, but I have no clue about how to start this hopping mode. Knowing that is the standard for Bluetooth I'm sure is something so evident I'm not even seeing it, but I'd gladly accept some help.

The testing you refer to, is it a regulatory compliance test (FCC,ETSI, etc.)? If so, I would recommend you to use the radio test example in the SDK, and modify to what you need. With the radio test example you can easily control the radio from a terminal using UART.

Hello Kristing, and thanks for the answer.

I'm already using the radio example for another test of the qualification process, but the company explicitly ask me for the test I describe with the Bluetooth frequency hopping. I suppose I could create something that simulates some random hopping, but as this functionality is already part of the Bluetooth standard I was wondering how I can indicate to the lower levels of the Bluetooth stack "emit continuously while hopping among channels 1 to 40" or something similar. I guess I a fairy common practice when validating products, but I don't see how I can do it.
