7.3 PSTool

PSTool is an editing suite that allows you to read and modify the Persistent Store. The Persistent Store consists of

configuration keys that modify the operation of the firmware. BlueCore is a very flexible device with many setup

options. PS Keys must be set correctly for BlueCore to work in a particular design. Some PS Keys must be calibrated

for each module.

7.3.1 PsCli

PsCli is a command-line interface for reading and modifying the Persistent Store. Type

pscli.exe -help

see usage instructions.

7.3.2 Documentation

PSTool and pscli are described in the

PSTool User Guide

See

pskeys.html

in the firmware release for details on using individual PS Keys.

7.4 BlueTest

BlueTest is a program that enables you to execute BlueCore’s Built In Self Test (BIST) functions for RF testing. The

BIST functions consist mainly of low level radio tests (transmitting a continuous wave at a prescribed frequency or

receiving pseudo random data and calculating bit error rates). Included are tests for the PCM port and other internal

blocks.

7.4.1 BlueTest3

BlueTest3 is a newer product which will replace BlueTest. Both programs support all of the currently relevant tests,

but only BlueTest3 can make debug interface connections over the

serial peripheral interface

(SPI) transport.

BlueTest is still distributed as it supports some older tests in firmware versions 22 and earlier that BlueTest3 does

not support.

Important Note:

CSR recommends using BlueTest3 unless you need features available only in BlueTest.
