WL1837MODCOM8I: HCI Tester tool error when executing script

Please comment out the commands until, "Send_HCI_VS_Start_VS_Lock". Run the HCI at 115200 baud without changing the speed.

# Change UART baudrate
#Send_HCI_VS_Update_Uart_HCI_Baudrate 0xFF36, 0x002dc6c0
#Wait_HCI_Command_Complete_VS_Update_Uart_HCI_Baudrate_Event 5000, 0x00, 0xff36, 0x00

#Com_SetParams 3000000, 1

Thanks

Hi Hari,

I commented out the commands you mentioned and it failed at the next command:

Wait_HCI_Command_Complete_VS_Start_VS_Lock_Event 5000, any, 0xfe37, 0x00

From trace log:

17:52:11.651 ERROR - File: "C:\Users\SteJon\Bluetooth_WLAN\Wireless Tools\wl18xx_bt_sp_v4.6\New_Init_HCIScript.txt", Line: 25

I tried on my setup and it went just fine.. If, you are using WL18xxCOM82SDMMC, do you have the HCI/UART jumpers set correctly for Debug/FTDI mode and ensure to push the Sw2 (BT_EN) before launching HCI tester..

That was the problem. I set the 4 HCI UART jumpers to FTDI and it now works. Thanks!

Can you tell me how to set up basic TX and RX tests? For example, constant TX on channel 39, DH5 so I can analyze the TX output? Or set the RX so I can transmit a waveform and measure BER? 

Please take a look at the attached RF testing document. Also, i would recommend to search this e2e forum for similar posts.

Hi Hari, thanks for the RF test document.

I ran the Init script successfully, and then tried to send the TX commands in a script, but had and error on the "Send_HCI_VS_DRPb_Enable_RF_Calibration_Enhanced 0xFDFB, 0x1, 0xFF, 0x00000000, 0x01 " command.

Which tests are you trying to run? 

I want to run the following tests:

1. Continuous Tx from WiLink 8 on various channels and mod schemes (BR, EDR, LE) to analyze on Litepoint IQxel-M

2. Receive packets on WiLink 8 generated by a LitePoint IQxel-M generator on various channels and mod schemes (BR, EDR, LE) to measure BER.

Hi Hari,

Can you please assist me with this? Do you have scripts you could share that put the device into continuous Tx and Rx so I can run them on my end and make sure they don't produce any errors?

I have tried executing the "HCI_VS_DRPb_Tester_Con_TX" command and am able to see the output on a spectrum analyzer. But then I'm not able to stop Tx, switch to a different frequency and then Tx on the new freq for example. Only way I can do it is to reset the board then run the init script again and then run the "HCI_VS_DRPb_Tester_Con_TX" command on a new frequency. Please advise.

And the "Wait_HCI" commands always have errors as seen in the screenshot below:

Hi Jonathan,

I am looping for HW team for helping with the RF testing scripts.

Thanks

Thanks. I appreciate it. 

Hi Jonathan,

Looking into this and will get back to you shortly.

BR,

Vince 

Thanks, Vince.

Hi Jonathan,

Please find attached the scripts i have for you to use - Please look through them and use one that is relevant for your testing.

Hi Vince, unfortunately the scripts get stuck on the HCI_VS_DRPb_Enable_RF_Calibration command and there's no RF output measured on my spectrum analyzer. See below:

Trace:

ERROR - File: "C:\Users\SteJon\Bluetooth_WLAN\Wireless Tools\wl18xx_bt_sp_v4.6\TI Test Scripts\Classic_EDR_con_TX.txt", Line: 14

Thanks for the update Hari Nagalla can you examine this issue with command and comment?

Thanks,

Vince 

This above VS command is not valid for WL8. Vince, will send the script valid for WL8.
