AR3011 Device Under Test

AR3011 Device Under Test

[Julien Massot]

Hi all,

I have an usb AR3011 bluetooth chipset in one of my product, and I need to do
some radio testing for certification purpose.

I firstly talked to my bluetooth card vendor to get help, but didn't
had any reply.

Does anyone already succeed to put an AR3011 (managed by ATH3K driver),
under radio test condition ?

So beeing able to do continous Tx, setting the channels, something similar to
tx99 for ath9k:

Thanks a lot for your input.

Regards,
Julien

you can use the HCI commands for test mode.

Thanks a lot, I didn't search the right way, and the solution was in bluetooth
specification.

Was stuck on WiFi way of thinking in which any constructor have it's own way.

So for future people looking at this topic please read
BLUETOOTH SPECIFICATION Version 2.0 + EDR [vol 3]
"7.6.3 Enable Device Under Test Mode Command"

I think that I added /sys/kernel/debug/bluetooth/hci0/dut_mode or something like that.
