Produce a Continuous Wave on DA14580

Hello Dear Support,

I need to create a firmware for Murata module that will be able to produce a Continuous Wave for a specified Frequency.

Is there a reference design (software) or SDK documentation that I should use?

Thanks in advance.

Device:
DA14580

Hi shpasser,

Hi shpasser,

Please check the prod_test example which is located under projects\target_apps\prod_test\prod_test SDK path and you will find the hci_tx_start_continue_test_mode(). This is the only reference that we have available. I think that it might help you.

Thanks, PM_Dialog

谢谢的回复,

Thanks for the reply,

As I understand GTL is used as a high level protocol between the Host and the Target, but I cannot find the document describing GTL.

Please help,

Thanks in advance.

Hi shpasser,

Hi shpasser,

We do not have these commands documented or any documentation describing the GTL. The easiest is to use the RF master tool inside SmartSnippets Toolbox and run the desired command. When you open the RF Master from the “Tools” tab, you will see the “Continues Tx” drop-down menu. So, since your device running the prod_test firmware you could use the RF Master to send command to the application.

Thanks, PM_Dialog

Thanks for the reply,

Thanks for the reply,

I Checked and unfortunately I cannot use "RF Master" to communicate with the "prod_test".

1. I have STM32L4 connected via a UART to DA14580.

2. The UART is used to boot DA14580 and to communicate with it afterwards.

3. I was hoping to be able to use "prod_test" to create CW of several frequencies to perform RF tests.

4. BTW our board does not contain many of the HW elements which present in Dialog's Production Test Board and I suspect that "prod_test" as-is may not work properly on our board.

5. As a workaround I would like to create a firmware based on "prod_test" that can produce a single CW when loaded.

6. In order to achieve (5) I would like to consult with you regarding the best way of stripping and customizing of "prod_test" to suit our needs.

Please help,

Thanks in advance.

Hi shpasser,

Hi shpasser,

Apologies for the delay. I think that you have posted a similar question but for DA1468x.

https://support.dialog-semiconductor.com/forums/post/dialog-smartbond-bluetooth-low-energy-%E2%80%93-software/building-production-test-firmware

Could you please read the same Appendix? Are you still unable to use the RF Master of the toolbox?

Thanks, PM_Dialog

Dear Support,

Dear Support,

Thank you very much for the information you provided.

As I mentioned before in my case I cannot use "RF Master" because I cannot connect it via the UART because it is already connected to STM32L4 MCU.

So, I ended by preparing a special version of "Production Test" firmware which starts transmitting a continuous wave when it starts running.

Best Regards,

Ron.

Hi shpasser,

Hi shpasser,

So, could you please let me know if you are able to transmit a continuous wave? Did you fix your issue?

Thanks, PM_Dialog

Yes, I was able to transmit a continuous wave. No issues as of now.

Hi shpasser,

Hi shpasser,

Glad that you are able to transmit a continuous wave, if you found any answer useful, please mark it as “accepted”.

Thanks, PM_Dialog
