CC2640R2F: Does IQVIEW be enough for BLE stack V4.2 device testing in manufacture?

Part Number: CC2640R2F
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2541, CC2540, BLE-STACK, CC2540T, CC2541-Q1

Hi TI Folks,

  Good day to you.

  We are considering the BLE test equipment for TI MPN CC2640R2FRGZR in mass production,  we use BLE Stack V4.2 in our design, and we have equipment IQVIEW on hand, but it support up to BLE V4.0, V4.1 only, please advise that does IQVIEW be enough for BLE stack V4.2 device testing in manufacture?  If IQVIEW is not suitable, does TI have any recommendation? Please kindly share.

Best regards.

  • Hi Eirik,

      Good day to you.

      Noted, I will contact litepoint about IQVIEW.

      For CC2640R2 testing in mass production, does TI have any recommendation on the tester model? and guild line for the mass production testing?

    best regards

  • Hello,
    I don't know. Bluetooth is updating and enhancing at fast pace so there is probably a lot of development and new products in the tester world. I would recommend asking a Bluetooth Qualified Expert (BQE) to get advice as they might be up to date on end product mass market production testing.

    I will ask some colleagues as well and let you know if we have some tips from TI.

    Some tips from our old setup on our wiki:

    "Qualified Designs CC2540 / CC2541 & BLE-Stack v1.4.x
    The CC254x Family (including CC2540, CC2540T CC2541, CC2541-Q1) together with BLE-Stack (v.1.4) has qualified subsystems that can be referred to when listing a Bluetooth low energy product. Note that due to RF-PHY certification it will typically be required to create a new Controller Subsystem. However, only RF-PHY tests may be required. For BLE RF-PHY, you can do in-house testing by using Testers from Rohde & Schwarz or Anritsu and then have a test house (such as 7Layers, AT4wireless,TUV Rheinland and Wipro ) put together the new controller subsystem for the specific product."
