DTM on nRFConnect

[Chris Barratt]

Hello,

We use a custom interface board to program and run test programs on our series of tiny BLE modules based on nRF52xxx series (ISP1507, ISP1807, ISP1907).

Our interface board uses a Segger OB Jlink/COM port program running in an ATmel MCU.

We can use nRFGOSTUDIo to run DTM. This works with our configuration.

When we try to run DTM on nRFConnect the program gives an error at connection time. This is result using Segger OB interface for the COM port.

On an alternative setup using an FTDI Com port Intreface nRFConnect DTM works.

WHen do you expect to fix this issue so as to have access to DTM for BLE5.2?? with added coding and data rates?

Best regards

Please note that I ran DTM on NRFConnect first (nRFGOSTUDIO was not started) with error

When I run nRFGOStudio immediately after switching off nRFConnect DTM functions correctly from the studio.

I have also checked behaviour on a setup using FTDI USB to Uart device. This works on both nrfConnect and nRFGOstudio.

Looks like it tries to program the device but no firmware found. We will look into the issue and give you an answer later.

Hi, we have fixed the issue and it will be included in nRF Connect for Desktop v3.4 :)

[Chris Barratt]

Thank you. When will this be on line?

Best regards

Hi Chris, appreciate for your feedback and interest. The release is in our plan but we dont have a fixed date for it. It might be out in a month or two.
