The 6 testpoints will be available on
the bottom side of the board. Test
the value, and the ripple (in AC).
Voltages are
close to those
on a golden
sample.

If one of these supplies are not
available, the BT emission will not
pass the test.
BT emission is
compliant. NA

Check the emitted RF level and
frequency with a tester antenna.
Second test for reception (optional):
put the chip in continuous reception,
emit RF with the tester, and check
the level of RSSI with
HCI_VS_Read_RSSI (0xFDFC)
command
RF is present
and at the right
level.
RF is received
at the right
RSSI level.

One option could be to use the development kit from TI as test tool, which is composed of:
• The CPU board MSP430F5438, connected through USB to a computer
• The BTDB which makes the BT function and is connected to the MSP430 CPU
Therefore, see the wiki about the test tool available:
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC256x_Bluetooth_Hardware_Evaluation_Tool
The associated PC software provides the following features;
• Configuration download, service pack download
• Sleep mode activation
• Output power setting
• Radio testing through test modes (see below)
• Debug Traces monitor
The individual test modes are:

Description
Continuous TX
BT device continously transmits at a particular frequency, modulation,
