CC2652P: Matter thread test

Part Number: CC2652P

Hi Expert,

Does cc2652P has any doc, PTM example and tool for Matter thread test?

Take BLE as example, 

doc: https://www.ti.com/lit/an/swra737a/swra737a.pdf

PTM example: host_test

tool: btool

Is there any similar stuff for thread?

My customer needs these for RF certification and production test.

BR,

  • Hi Frank,

    Basic RF certification should be achievable using Smart RF Studio and the IEEE PHY.  There is not an exact replica for Thread, however you can use the CC2652P RCP and a Linux Thread Border Router host to perform CLI commands.  This can be used to generate Thread network traffic, obtain RSSI/PER, etc.

  • Ryan,

    for Smart RF studio, you mean that I can use IEEE 802.15.4 mode?

    Test lab cannot accept to connect the external device. The test must be device under test standalone. So, customer must send the CLI command before starting the test. Please help teach me how to achieve below by using CLI commands.

    -set the tx power and transmit continuous wave at specific channel

    -set the tx power and transmit continuous wave at specific channel with different duty cycle for EMI strength test

    -set the tx power and transmit specific package content at specific channel

    -package error rate test

    BR,

  • You are able to access the IEEE 802.15.4 mode using Smart RF Studio.  A link to the CLI commands has already been provided to determine whether this interface fits your requirements.  Otherwise, TI Proprietary RF solutions are typically recommended for these kinds of tests.  If a UART connection is acceptable then rfDiagnostics contains several AT API for continuous wave and PER tests with a selected channel and TX power.  If device test truly does not allow for any external connections then these commands are either made in advance before the UART is disconnected or the testers must further develop the other PropRF examples (rfPacketErrorRate, rfCarrierWave, rfPacketRx/Tx, rfEchoRx/Tx, etc.)

  • Ryan,

    Can I still use commands like below for Thread carrier wave?

    ATPTM=1<CR>

    which fw in cc2652 should I use to run?

    Customer wants to do thread test in production line including tx power setting, PER, rx rssi, frequency drift\ offset...
    They will connect UART from equipment like lite point to CC2652. So, they need to know how to do that.

    can you tell me which fw and command they can use for thread test? They will have script in equipment to send out uart commands and measure the result.

  • rfDiagnostics should be used.  They can start with the AT commands already provided and further add to the application as needed for their requirements.
