Could you tell me when to support Bluetooth 5.0 DTM on the new nRF52840 chip Thank you
Hi,
DTM with Bluetooth 5 support (support for 2MBit and long range) will be released in SDK 14. (Expected release in ~ 4-5 weeks). SDK 14 will add support for SoftDevice S132 v5.0.0 (production release that is BLE 5 qualified)
You mean SDK 14 will release in the end of July? My company has buy the nRF52840, and we want to test the operation of the radio at the physical level immediately.Could you give me any control software(DTM software) to do it firstly?Thanks.
For testing the radio you can use the radio_test example in the SDK. It's located in the folder <SDK_InstallFolder>\examples\peripheral\radio_test
.
For DTM you will have to wait ~4 weeks for SDK 14.
Regarding DTM and radio test example:
DTM and the radio test example represents two different tests: DTM is for Bluetooth testing and the radio test example is for testing the radio.
For qualification for regulatory standards like FCC, ETSI, etc. the radio test example is most handy, because those qualifications are related to the radio itself.
For Bluetooth qualification, DTM should be used.
