CC8530: CE product certification based on CC8530

Jose Luis Azpeitia

Part Number: CC8530


Hi

We are certifying CE a product based on the CC8530.
The laboratory that does the tests asks us to restrict the work to only one RF channel, but with the PurePath Wireless Configurator we can only restrict it to a minimum of 6 channels. How can we do this?
It has functions that facilitate the homologation tests, similar to the Bluetooth Direct Test Mode?

Best regards.

    Hi Jose,

    Have you seen the CC85xx Production Test Application note?

    Hi Joakim

    Is this the only way to do the tests?
    It is necessary to use a microcontroller and our product is a handset where the CC8530 works autonomously.
    How did you do the CE and FCC homologation tests of the PurePath Wireless Headset Development Kit?


    Thank you.
    Best regards.

    Hi Joakim

    The Production Test allows you to send a tone on an audio channel, but still uses a minimum of 6 RF channels. The laboratory ask us to use a single RF channel.

    Best regards.

    Hi Jose,

    I have obtained some additional information. There are two option to perform tests.

    1. Create a production test image, and use the RF test commands
    2. Use the simplified production test 

    Option nr 2 is outlined as;

    Simplified Production Test Included in Application Image

    For applications where space constraints excludes an SPI-based external host interface or for cost-constrained products, a simplified mini production test can be enabled. This allows for single GIO-driven, round-robin, transmitter test to output an un-modulated carrier at low, mid and high frequency.

    The simplified production test can be enabled by altering any device configuration file (*.PPWCFG) generated by Configurator version 1.3.0 or later:

    • Find the line: <mini_prod_test_en>0</mini_prod_test_en> and change it to <mini_prod_test_en>1</mini_prod_test_en>
    • Reloading this configuration in the configurator will reveal a new pin option, "Mini production test control", to the IO Mapping panel
    • To enter the simplified production test, hold the designated pin low while powering up the CC85xx device. This will start the output of the first carrier. At every positive-to-negative edge transition on the designated GIO the carrier frequency is changed in a round-robin scheme between low, mid and high frequency. A chip reset is required to leave simplified test mode and enter normal application mode.

    I hope this helps.
