CI230X SRRC Certification Test Method

Test environment construction

测试环境搭建

Figure 1 Test environment setup

Hardware test preparation

◆ The DUT to be tested is a module or development board based on CI230X chip.

◆ Connect serial port tools 3.3V, GND, UART-TX and UART-RX to modules VDD33, GND, PE2 and PE3.

◆ During the test, the PC sends the corresponding ATE test command, and the PC interacts with the DUT through UART to configure various test modes.

◆ Prepare 5 PCS of modules, 4 of which disconnect the antenna and matching circuit and weld the RF test line without shielding cover; 1 PCS with shield cover is a complete sample.

◆ Open the serial port tool, SSCOM is recommended, and check “Add Return and Line Feed“. Set the baud rate to 115200, select the corresponding COM port, and then configure the test command according to the subsequent commands in this article to test each mode.

◆ USB to serial port tool

◆ Several DuPont lines

Software test preparation

◆ Burn test firmware: Burn CI230X Fixed Frequency Test Firmware for basic fixed frequency test.

◆ Installation of USB to serial tool drive: ensure that the serial port drive has been correctly followed. If the serial port cannot be identified, it is recommended to install the USB to serial tool chip by yourself.
