Introduction
BlueTest is a program that controls the
on-chip built-in-self-test (BIST) software for
RF testing. This document explains the
facilities offered by the BIST. BlueTest does
not execute any of these tests. It sends
commands to BlueCore01 and/or enables
the on-chip BIST, then reports any results.
The tests fall into six categories:
g Simple RF tests; used for PCB de-bug
and optimisation
g Quantitative tests for transmit and
receive; used to establish the
performance of the Bluetooth device.
g Loopback test modes; used for
qualification and regulatory testing
g Configuration commands to set
parameters for other tests
g Built-in self-test routines
g Miscellaneous test routines
Further details about commands,
parameters and packet types are included
in the appendices following the tests.
Running a Test
In a BlueTest dialog select the Standard
button to display the entire test. This applies
to all of the tests except for the BIT ERR1
and BIT ERR2 tests. Click on
Bit Error to
display these results in a column format.
When running the tests, the results display in
a dialog box.
The default file name is logfile.txt. It is
located in the current directory in which the
program resides. Select
Browse for File to
create your own file name and path (using
test examples provided).
To save test results to a file, tick
Save to File.
Note:
Some of these tests require two
Bluetooth modules to function correctly. The
PCM External Loopback test has notes
specifically for use with CSR’s Casira
development kit.
All of the following tests are designed to run
with CSR’s firmware versions Beta 10.4 and
above.
Several tests include entries for
