Introduction
BlueTest is a program that controls the
on-chip built-in-self-test (BIST) software for
RF testing. This document explains the
facilities offered by the BIST. BlueTest does
not execute any of these tests. It sends
commands to BlueCore01 and/or enables
the on-chip BIST, then reports any results.
The tests fall into six categories:
g Simple RF tests; used for PCB de-bug
and optimisation
g Quantitative tests for transmit and
receive; used to establish the
performance of the Bluetooth device.
g Loopback test modes; used for
qualification and regulatory testing
g Configuration commands to set
parameters for other tests
g Built-in self-test routines
g Miscellaneous test routines
Further details about commands,
parameters and packet types are included
in the appendices following the tests.
Running a Test
In a BlueTest dialog select the Standard
button to display the entire test. This applies
to all of the tests except for the BIT ERR1
and BIT ERR2 tests. Click on Bit Error to
display these results in a column format.
When running the tests, the results display in
a dialog box.
The default file name is logfile.txt. It is
located in the current directory in which the
program resides. Select Browse for File to
create your own file name and path (using
test examples provided).
To save test results to a file, tick Save to File.
Note:
Some of these tests require two
Bluetooth modules to function correctly. The
PCM External Loopback test has notes
specifically for use with CSR’s Casira
development kit.
All of the following tests are designed to run
with CSR’s firmware versions Beta 10.4 and
above.
Several tests include entries for Related Test
Spec Name. These refer to tests in the
Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) Test
Specification for RF document, rev. 0.9r,
dated 31 January 2000.

Enables the receiver at a designated frequency (LO Freq) with a
choice of low or high side modulation (hi-side) and with a designated
attenuation setting (RX Attenuation).
Returns a set of reports to the host:
g Number of data bits received (payload excluding FEC and CRC)
g Number of data bits that were in error. Assumes PRBS9 data
starting with 1FF in each packet
g Number of packets received
g Number of packets expected, based on txrx_freq (default
12500)
g Number of packets with header errors as reported by hardware
g Number of packets with CRC errors
g Number of packets with uncorrected errors (currently same as
CRC errors)
g Number of sync timeouts. Note that until a transmission is
received a long timeout is used, so this does not reflect the
number of packets expected
Each report has two unint32 values. First is value since last report,
second is summed over the last bits_count (default =
1.6Mbits).
Reports are sent according to report_freq set (default = 1

Loopback (lb_offs) sets the offset in microseconds
between a reception event and retransmission of the data in
loopback. Default is 1875 (two slots later), must be less than
TX/Rx Int (txrx_freq). If passed as zero current value
unchanged.
Report Int(report_freqs) sets the time in seconds between

Title CFG PKT
Summary
Sets packet type and size for transmitter tests. It has no effect on
RX or LOOP BACK tests.
Packet Type (pkt-type) is the standard Bluetooth packet
type, 0-15 (12-13 not allowed). Any other number sets default:
DM5 for TXDATA1/2, DH5 for TXDATA3/4.
Packet Size (pkt_size) is the size of data in packet, from one
to maximum for type. If zero sets default: 20 bytes for TXDATA1/2,
192 bytes for TXDATA3/4.
Since the two values are connected both values must be set – no

the PCM input is output again on the PCM out pin. The LOOP BACK
is via software and the buffers so there is a pipeline delay. The PCM
port mode is selectable.
If PCM Mode = 0, BlueCore01 is slave in normal 4-wire
configuration
If PCM Mode = 1, BlueCore01 is master in normal 4-wire
configuration
If PCM Mode = 2, BlueCore01 is master in Manchester encoded,
2-wire configuration.

Appendix 2
Known Software Issue(s) in BlueTest Version 1.4
(a) Pressing the Reset Chip button on the GUI while data is being transmitted sends a
hardware reset command to the chip and restarts the serial stack software.
Closing the GUI sends a hardware reset command to the chip.
If the link fails, the connection can only be recreated by manually resetting the chip
(power off/on) and by clicking on Reset Chip or closing down and restarting the GUI (both
of which will restart the serial stack software).
The above will not occur if no data is visibly scrolling in the window.
The tests concerned are:
g VCOTRIM
g BUILD LUT
g READ
g LUT
(b) There is a race between command responses indicating that a test has started and the
first data relating to that test. This does not affect the test results.
(c) It is not possible to rouse the chip from Deep Sleep except by powering down the chip
and restarting.

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF
exposure compliance. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements, please follow operation instruction as documented in this manual.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
1) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna,
As long as 1 condition above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However,
the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional
compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device
emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example
certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC
authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final
product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating
the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
End Product Labeling
The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains FCC
ID: O9NPB”.
Manual Information To the End User
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding
how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end product which
integrates this module.
The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in
this manual.
Canadian Regulatory Wireless Notice
This device complies with RSS-210 of the Industry Canada Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
1) this device may not cause interference and
2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device
IMPORTANT NOTE:
IC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF
exposure compliance. To maintain compliance with IC RF exposure compliance
requirements, please follow operation instruction as documented in this manual.
