Pre-Qualified module with custom firmware

[trigerion]

I hope someone is able to answer a few question. 

I read quite a lot but still some things are still confusing.

If we use e.g. the AMB2621 Module of Würth, is skipping the required testing during qualification only possible if using the default firmware provided by Würth?

If yes, the phy test can be skipped as the hardware design itself is not altered or?

Has anyone some information how much it would cost approximately in case the skipping of the testing is not possible?

Would an own qualified end product  need requalification in case the soft device is changed to a newer version?

Thanks.

Hi krndhub,

the Würth radio modules contain firmware pre-flashed, that can be controlled via UART commands.

In case you want to write your own firmware and use another softdevice as has been used for the listing, parts of the listing have to be renewed. The Würth radio modules are listed with all features that are provided by the used soft device. Thus if you just change the settings, the listing is still valid in case the softdevice version has not been changed.

• Proteus-I (formerly known as AMB2621) uses S132 version 3.1.0
• Proteus-II (formerly known as AMB2623) uses S132 version 6.0.0
• Proteus-III uses S140 version 7.0.1

BTW: Proteus-II supports also 2Mbit mode, and Proteus-III supports also 2Mbit and LE coded mode
