Configuring the "ATT_MTU Throughput Example" : Lack of Options

[JamesW]

I am struggling to configure all of the options I desire to on the the "ATT-MTU Throughput Example". This is the version provided in the v15.0 of the SDK, with the hex file provided being flashed to the dev boards.

https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/b/blog/posts/throughput-and-long-range-demo?CommentId=3beb90a2-0239-4a9e-bdda-5bcdd5b37497 -- This post indicates a huge range of options that are able to be configured in the v13.1 version. However in the v15.0 version these do not seem to be available, (picture below shows options shown in terminal). In particular I am looking to change the data being set from the standard 1Mbyte to a significantly smaller amount, as I am testing the long range capabilities of Bluetooth, and hence the data rate is quite low, so it takes alot of time to send. Options to change the output power would also be appreciated.

Are these options still available in the v15.0 edition? I am struggling to compile the v13 editions due to code limits and the like on Keil compilers, and a lack of hex files/segger embedded studio files being provided in the v13 set.

Hello,

The SDK15 version of this examples uses CLI. You can still use Putty (same settings as before), but the commands doesn't show up automatically as before. However, if you press the tab-key, they will show up. At least it works in Putty. I don't think it works in Termite, and I haven't tested on other terminals.

 

Try it with Putty, and pressing tab, and see if it works.

 

Best regards,

Edvin

Hey Edvin, thanks for replying.

So when using tab I get the 6 options seen in my picture above.

So when I do config (then hit tab) it shows me this picture, which as said, covers the options shown in my original. So it seems there is no longer the option to change the amount of data sent or change the power? If not no problem, I will look elsewhere at other examples.

Hello,

I don't think it was possible to change the amount of data being sent, or to change the power in this example. At least I can't find it in SDK13.1.0.

 

I see that the link that you originally posted is an extended example based on the ble_app_att_mtu_throughput example, and not the example itself.

If anything, you have more options in the example from SDK15. But I don't think you will be able to run the example from your link on SDK 15 without modifications, but I have not tested.

 

Best regards,

Edvin
