1. WLAN Basic Test
1.1 Components
-Windows 10 or above
-Install ModusToolBox 2.3.1 or above (optional)
-Download MFG app to the EVB (the Azurewave MFG app is stored in the EVB by
default)
-Make sure the DUT is in CMSIS-DAP Bulk mode (Amber Status LED ON). If the

1.2 Using the Application
The following steps describe how to use the manufacturing test application.
1. Ensure that the Evaluation board is connected to the PC and loaded with the
manufacturing test application, then press the reset button.
2. Using Windows Device Manager, look in the section "Ports (COM & LPT)" and
note the COM port in use by the EVB (e.g. COM63).

3. Open a command prompt and navigate to the directory which contain the wl tool
(e.g. d:\mfgtest\)
4. Verify that the application is working by entering the following command at the
command prompt (where 63 corresponds to the COM port number of the DUT).
d:\mfgtest\wl43438A1.exe --serial 63 ver
A list of available commands is displayed using the command: wl43438A1.exe --serial
63 cmds
Detailed help is available by entering the command: wl43438A1.exe --serial 63 –h

1.3 Example Commands
1. From the Start menu, select Run.
2. Type cmd, then click OK.
3. Navigate to the directory that contains wl43438A1.exe
4. Enter wl43438A1.exe --serial %1 ver command to check the current WL driver
version (%1 is the com port number).
5. Run the following command set:
