CC2564MODA: Bluetooth Hardware Evaluation Tool BLE Output Power Setting

Genius 5960 points

Part Number: CC2564MODA
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2564

Hi.

My customer is trying to acquire TELEC certification using the Bluetooth Evaluation Tool.
My customer is using CC2564MODA.
However, when testing the BLE,
It became NG with over output.
I attempted to adjust the output power,
It can not be selected by Bluetooth Hardware Evaluation Tool.
I attach a screen.
※The version of the tool is 1.0.
Q1)Is there any other way to adjust output power?
Best Regards,

  • Hi

    There is no dedicated power vector for BLE in CC2564 devices. The BLE power will be power level 1 of GFSK modulation.
    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../CC256x_VS_HCI_Commands

    So if need to change the BLE power for test in BHET, you need to send the HCI_VS_DRPb_Set_Power_Vector command for GFSK with the updated value of Power Level 1 (used for BLE) and send the following two commands after that.

    # Set max power level index to be used with a peer device that does not support power control (per LP/HP and per modulation)
    Send_HCI_VS_DRPb_Set_Class2_Single_Power 0xFD87, 0x0d, 0x0e, 0x0e
    Wait_HCI_Command_Complete_VS_DRPb_Set_Class2_Single_Power_Event 5000, 0x00, 0xfd87, 0x00

    # Run TPC (Transmission Power Control) calibration
    Send_HCI_VS_DRPb_Enable_RF_Calibration 0xFD80, 0x00, 0x00000800, 0x01
    Wait_HCI_Command_Complete_VS_DRPb_Enable_RF_Calibration_Event 5000, 0x00, 0xfd80, 0x00

    Thank you for reply.
    Please let me check additionally.

    (Q2)
    When performing transmission test of BLE using BHET,
    Which setting should I use?

     (a)
      Modulation = "BLE"
      Power = "15(Max)"※Power Fix

     (b)
      Modulation = "GFSK"
      Power = "1"

  • Hi,

    The (a) Modulation='BLE' and Power for BLE (grayed out) must be used for BLE TX tests.

    The above information was only regarding changing the BLE output power if needed.

    Thnak you for reply.

    OK. I'm understand.

    (Q3)
    I believe that this additional command can not be done by BHET.
    Should I use HCI Tester?
    Is there a way to issue commands with BHET?

  • Yes, you will need to open the HCITester and send these commands to change the output power for BLE.
