FAQ

Can I use the PTS Firmware in BL654 Dongle?

Yes, you can use the PTS Firmware on the BL654 Dongle, but it's important to know which version of the dongle you have. There are two variants:

  • 451-0004: Nordic Version of the BL654 Dongle
  • 451-0003: smartBASIC Version of the BL654 Dongle

Only the 451-0004 (Nordic version) can be used with PTS Firmware.

Note: Once the PTS firmware is loaded onto the 451-0004 (Nordic version) BL654 dongle, it cannot be reverted to its original "normal" mode. This process is irreversible, and the dongle will remain in PTS mode.

How do I launch menuconfig for Zephyr?

If you would like to launch "menuconfig" for your Zephyr build, add "-t menuconfig" to the end of your build command.  

For example:

west build -p -b mg100 -d ble_gateway_dm_firmware/build/mg100 ble_gateway_dm_firmware -- -DAPP_TYPE=mqtt -t menuconfig
