Question 2: Unless it got added recently and I did not catch it, currently the nimble stack does not provide support for the FCC test.
Question 1: I guess it depends what you mean by take over control. The call to ble_phy_disable() will certainly halt anything going on in the radio. However, that is a pretty low-layer call and if the link layer is doing something it could grab control again. As long as you are sure the device is not advertising, scanning or in a connection that radio should not be used and the link layer should not try to start using it. There are a number of ways you could “hack” this into the code and I could help with more information if you need it. And btw: if you do take control of the radio and then want to return it to the nimble stack you should perform a link-layer reset of the controller. The reason being is that there are some radio registers that are only written once and if you change them the device may no longer operate correctly. Awesome that you are doing this! Let us know how it goes.
