4.9.2 Bluetooth Low Energy (LE)
Two commands are used to test the RF for Bluetooth Low Energy (LE): LE Receiver Test
and LE Transmitter Test. And one command is used to end the test.
4.9.2.1 Bluetooth LE receiver test
To start a test where the DUT receives test reference packets at a fixed interval, use
LE Receiver Test[V2] command. For more details on the command please refer to
Bluetooth Core Specification v5.2.
root@imx8mqevk:~# hcitool -i hci0 cmd 0x08 0x0033 0x01 0x02 0x00
Command output example:
< HCI Command: ogf 0x08, ocf 0x0033, plen 3
01 02 00
< HCI Command: LE Enhanced Receiver Test (0x08|0x0033) plen 3
RX channel frequency: 2404 MHz (0x01)
PHY: LE 2M (0x02)
Modulation index: Standard (0x00)
> HCI Event: 0x0e plen 4
> HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 4
01 33 20 00
LE Enhanced Receiver Test (0x08|0x0033) ncmd 1
Status: Success (0x00)

4.9.2.2 Bluetooth LE transmitter test
To start a test where the DUT generates test reference packets at a fixed interval, use LE
Transmitter Test[V2] command. For more details on the command please refer to
Bluetooth Core Specification v5.2.
root@imx8mqevk:~# hcitool -i hci0 cmd 0x08 0x0034 0x01 0x01 0x00 0x02
Command output example:
< HCI Command: ogf 0x08, ocf 0x0034, plen 4
01 01 00 02
< HCI Command: LE Enhanced Transmitter Test (0x08|0x0034) plen 4
TX channel frequency: 2404 MHz (0x01)
Test data length: 1 bytes
Packet payload: 0x00
PHY: LE 2M (0x02)
> HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 4
> HCI Event: 0x0e plen 4
LE Enhanced Transmitter Test (0x08|0x0034) ncmd 1
01 34 20 00
Status: Success (0x00)
