How It Works
Universal Firmware
One firmware blob supporting Nordic nRF, Silicon Labs, onsemi, and ST MCUs with Bluetooth Low Energy radio. WiFi and LTE-M/NB-IoT support is currently in development.
Companion App Control
Flash the firmware, and the device immediately starts BLE advertising. Connect and control it through the wavedo companion app — no UART, no USB, no external adapters needed.
DTM Test Setup
Configure Direct Test Mode tests (TX, RX, Continuous Wave, Coded PHY, etc.) for a specified duration. The DUT performs all tests autonomously after you hit start.
OTA Updates
wavedo embeds Over-The-Air update capability, enabling remote firmware upgrades without physical access to the device.
No Cables Required
Ideal for devices that do not expose connectors. Test labs no longer need to attach external cables or USB/UART adapters — and no need to filter them out of measurements.
Auto-Generated Documentation
wavedo provides all necessary test firmware documentation for your certification process. No more writing custom docs for every product variant.
The wavedo Companion App
The wavedo app provides a streamlined interface for scanning, connecting, and controlling your DUT. Set up DTM tests with full parameter control — frequency, TX power, PHY, packet type, duration — and monitor test execution in real time.
Key screens include:
- Scanning — Discover nearby wavedo-enabled devices
- DTM Configuration — Set up TX, RX, CW, and Coded PHY tests
- Test Execution — Monitor running tests with live status
- Debug Console — Low-level BLE communication log
- Help & Docs — In-app reference for test modes and parameters
Scanning & Connecting
The scanning screen discovers all nearby wavedo-enabled devices. Tap to connect and begin configuring tests immediately.
Live Test Monitoring
Once tests are started, the DUT executes them autonomously. The app provides real-time status updates and completion notifications.
Use Cases
Skip Test Firmware Development
Companies can fully skip development of test firmware for devices that require CE/FCC/RED certification. wavedo works out of the box on supported MCUs.
Skip Documentation
No more writing custom test firmware documentation. wavedo provides all necessary docs for the certification process automatically.
Connector-Free Devices
Ideal for sealed or connector-free devices. No physical port? No problem — wavedo operates entirely over Bluetooth Low Energy.
Cable-Free Test Labs
Test labs eliminate external cables, UART/USB adapters, and the need to filter adapter interference from measurements. Cleaner setups, cleaner results.
Proven & Tested
Already validated on various nRF52 ICs, vanilla Zephyr RTOS, and Simplicity SDK. Battle-tested across real certification workflows.
Custom Board Support
Need support for a custom board or special MCU not yet listed? wavedo / tapdo can provide a tailored firmware stack for your specific hardware.
