Has anyone written a console mode version of Master Control Panel?

[Mahendra Tailor]

The existing Master Control Panel cannot be used as an automatic test platform. Basically I am looking to send commands via a tcp/ip which will invoke scan/connect/disconnect/discover etc. I can then use that to automate a regression test platform. I currently use TI's BTOOL with their usb adapter and works great. However, I want to automate testing of the GATT Client api of Softdevice S110 and I keep hitting a brick wall with it as TI's BTOOL is not capable of serving a gatt table.

For the right C# source, I would put a case to my management to pay a reasonable amount for it.

Thank you for your suggestion.

I am attempting to write a console mode C# application based on the Master Emulator API as I write this :-) I just don't the have the spare time to do it, but have no choice but to bite the bullet.

Thank you for pointing out the python stuff. Had a look and as you say no documentation. Unfortunately I have no python experience.

Looks like Nordic could be using it for their own automated testing. I asked them what they use for regression testing but got no answer. They must be doing something :-)

Thanks Mahendra

Hi Martin In the end I did write our own in C#. It is a console mode app and accepts commands over a serial port or via keyboard. Commands like ..

usbscan open adapternum open adapterStringName addsvc uuid16|"uuid128" addchar uuid16|"uuid128" attrlen props adddesc uuid16|"uuid128" attrlen props run scan scanIntMs scanWinMs "active"|"passive" scan "stop" connect adrtype "macaddr" scnIntMs scnWinMs conIntMs slvltcy sprToutMs connect "macaddr" scnIntMs scnWinMs conIntMs slvltcy sprToutMs lpipew pipenum hexdatastring rpipew pipenum hexdatastring discon ver quit close help
