AW-CM276NF FCC certification using manufacturing mode

We have built a device around the Apalis iMX8QP module, and are in the middle of FCC certification, but haven’t gotten to the intentional radiators tests yet. I’m not sure if we used the exact antennas listed in the modular certification, so I expect we will be required to have the device do certain things such as continuous TX/RX at different center frequencies and powers.

This Toradex link suggests that at one time this was only possible using the NXP driver, and that contacting technical support for assistance was the thing to do if you found yourself in need of help.

Is there an update to that guidance?

Hello @rob.mclean,

We have a yocto layer that builds the proprietary drives from NXP and is capable of generating the tool for manufacturing mode. We can provide the tool + driver /firmware under NDA.

Hello @eric.tx

We are also interested in the layers and a DRTU tool. Could you write to me for the details and the NDA.

Thanks

Hello @Qubit,

Do you need the driver files for your Apalis iMX8QM and for which version of BSP?

Hi rudhi

No, not the default drivers. We want to be prepared for certification. To do this, we should be able to access the module at a low level. I see that there are special drivers for this:

Also if there is any Diagonstic and Regulatory Tool Utility (DRTU) or other documentation how to control the module on low level. We do not yet need certificates at the moment.

As far as I understand it, we first have to sign an NDA. Maybe you or somebody from Toradex must contact me directly.

Best Regards
Urs

@rudhi.tx : any news? :slight_smile:

Hello @Qubit,

Sorry for the delay here, we will continue the conversation via the relevant email thread.

Best Regards,
