Bluetooth LE Protocol Controller Tester with CI Integration for BLE 5.4 / 5.3 / 5.2 / 5.1 / 5.0

Packetcraft Controller Tester is a versatile and powerful software tool offering both protocol testing and tools for Continuous Integration (CI) supporting Bluetooth LE 5.4 including PAwR, 5.3 & 5.2, and 5.1 & 5.0.

The tool tests the Bluetooth link layer and optionally the 802.15.4 MAC via the standard Bluetooth HCI interface. This custom Python-based tool, originally developed by Packetcraft’s engineers for internal development and validation, offers several thousand test cases including hundreds of unique test cases for qualification, protocol feature, robustness, soak, and system testing.

The companion software test tool to Packetcraft Controller, Packetcraft Controller Tester can validate a port of Packetcraft Controller to a target silicon platform. As a standalone software test tool, it can interface to and test any Bluetooth Low Energy chip with a standard HCI interface and runs on commercially available low-cost Bluetooth hardware.

CI tools implement an example software development flow with package, test, analyze, & publish.

Applications
• Link layer testing by software developers and system test engineers
• CI testing
• An essential tool aiding the development of:
• All types of Bluetooth LE devices such as wearables and IoT
• Bluetooth LE Audio including hearing aids, earbuds, talking sensors, microphone, speaker, and audio source devices as well as Auracast™ broadcast audio infrastructure
