2.4G test with nRF52832 platform

[shanmao]

hi all

how to test 2.4G(not ble) at nRF52832 platform?i need test the 2.4G signal performance include tx power ,sensitivity,frequency and so on.i use nRF GO studio.but it seems not support.

Hi James

You aren't able to configure the nRF52 DK directly from nRFgo Studio, but if you flash the direct_test_mode example into your kit first (and reset it) you should be able to connect to it from the DTM tester in nRFgo Studio. 

The direct_test_mode example can be found in the nRF5 SDK:
\nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a\examples\dtm\direct_test_mode

Just flash your kit using Segger Embedded Studio or nrfjprog, and open the J-Link comport in nRFgo Studio.

Hi James

Sorry about that, I misread the question. 

In that case I don't think you can use nRFgo Studio, no. 

For the nRF52 and later devices we are moving over to the nRF Connect platform rather than using nRFgo Studio.

If you want to run proprietary 2.4GHz radio tests I would suggest using the radio_test example in the SDK. 
Then you can control the 52 board through the UART console, and set up the board in various test modes. 

For more details on the example refer to the documentation, available here.
