&lt;p&gt;The softdevice does not have such functionality. I recommend to add a test pin, and at startup the application can check the level of the test pin to decide if it should run application or production test. Then you can run the radio test or DTM if the test pin for instance is high. This will increase the size of the firmware a bit, but I would not expect dramatically. Also check out:&lt;/p&gt;
