Function Documentation

◆ sl_bt_test_dtm_tx()

SL_BGAPI_DEPRECATED sl_status_t sl_bt_test_dtm_tx ( uint8_t  packet_type,
uint8_t  length,
uint8_t  channel,
uint8_t  phy 
)

Deprecated and replaced by sl_bt_test_dtm_tx_v4 command.

Start a transmitter test against a separate Bluetooth tester device. When the command is processed by the radio, a sl_bt_evt_test_dtm_completed event is triggered. This event indicates whether the test started successfully.

In the transmitter test, the device sends packets continuously with a fixed interval. The type and length of each packet is set by packet_type and length parameters. The parameter phy specifies which PHY is used to transmit the packets. All devices support at least 1M PHY. A special packet type, test_pkt_carrier, can be used to transmit continuous unmodulated carrier. The length field is ignored in this mode.

The test may be stopped using the sl_bt_test_dtm_end command.

Events

◆ sl_bt_test_dtm_tx_v4()

sl_status_t sl_bt_test_dtm_tx_v4 ( uint8_t  packet_type,
uint8_t  length,
uint8_t  channel,
uint8_t  phy,
int8_t  power_level 
)

Start a transmitter test against a separate Bluetooth tester device. When the command is processed by the radio, a sl_bt_evt_test_dtm_completed event is triggered. This event indicates whether the test started successfully.

In the transmitter test, the device sends packets continuously with a fixed interval. The type and length of each packet is set by packet_type and length parameters. The parameter phy specifies which PHY is used to transmit the packets. All devices support at least 1M PHY. A special packet type, test_pkt_carrier , can be used to transmit continuous unmodulated carrier. The length field is ignored in this mode.

Stop the test using the sl_bt_test_dtm_end command.

Parameters
[in]packet_typeEnum sl_bt_test_packet_type_t. Packet type to transmit. Values:
  • sl_bt_test_pkt_prbs9 (0x0): PRBS9 packet payload
  • sl_bt_test_pkt_11110000 (0x1): 11110000 packet payload

[in]length

Packet length in bytes

Range: 0-255

[in]channel

Bluetooth channel

Range: 0-39

Channel is (F - 2402) / 2,

where F is frequency in MHz

[in]phyEnum sl_bt_test_phy_t. PHY to use. Values:
  • sl_bt_test_phy_1m (0x1): 1M PHY
  • sl_bt_test_phy_2m (0x2): 2M PHY
  • sl_bt_test_phy_125k (0x3): 125k Coded PHY

[in]power_level

TX power level in unit dBm. Values:

  • -127 to +20: Use specified or the nearest TX power level. The minimum -127 dBm is specified in the Bluetooth specification. However, a device may not support this low TX power. In addition, only some devices support 20 dBm TX power.
  • 0x7E: Use minimum TX power level the device supports.
  • 0x7F: Use the smallest of the maximum TX power level the device supports and the global maximum TX power setting in stack.

For continious unmodulated carrier mode, the values are set in deci-dBm values. In case, if the value exceeds the range of power level value, allowed by the device, the command will adjust the power level to the closest minimum or maximum value.

Returns
SL_STATUS_OK if successful. Error code otherwise.

Events

◆ sl_bt_test_dtm_rx()

sl_status_t sl_bt_test_dtm_rx ( uint8_t  channel,
uint8_t  phy 
)

Start a receiver test against a separate Bluetooth tester device. When the command is processed by the radio, a sl_bt_evt_test_dtm_completed event is triggered. This event indicates whether the test started successfully.

Parameter phy specifies which PHY is used to receive the packets. All devices support at least 1M PHY.

The test may be stopped using sl_bt_test_dtm_end command. This will trigger another sl_bt_evt_test_dtm_completed event, which carries the number of packets received during the test.

Parameters
[in]channel

Range: 0-39

Channel is (F - 2402) / 2,

where F is frequency in MHz

[in]phyEnum sl_bt_test_phy_t. PHY to use. Values:

Events

◆ sl_bt_test_dtm_end()

sl_status_t sl_bt_test_dtm_end ( )

End a transmitter or a receiver test. When the command is processed by the radio and the test has ended, a sl_bt_evt_test_dtm_completed event is triggered.
