Need HFP and A2DP example to use on nRF5340 IC

[WSnyder]

I have nRF5340 Audio DK, Visual Code, nRF Connect; Simple samples like "blinky" work well.

Need an example 'Application" that provides HFP and A2Dp bluetooth that demonstrates nRF5340 IC connectivity

to android cell phone.

The nrf/applications/nrf5340_audio do not build NOR does it seem

capable of this simple task.

The problem is very simple!

Our product must communicate audio to the vast cell phone user base, using HFP and A2DP.

We have tried countless Chinese ICs and modules and they all have quirks that make them

problematic for our users. We were led to believe your BlueTooth ICs could be made

to do this function (Yes or No ?)

If yes, is there a Dev Kit / IC plus example code for these functions ?

The short answer is that if you specifically need the HFP and A2DP profiles this is not something you will be able to do with a Nordic IC since these two are Bluetooth Classic profiles.The slightly longer answer is what I wrote in my previous comment; since you specifically mention and need the HFP and A2DP profiles you will need to use Bluetooth Classic (since these specific profiles are not part of the new and improved LE Audio specification, even though their functionality is present in similar, other profiles).

In essence, if you are designing a new product then I would recommend looking into the possibilities that the new standard enables (which is all that Bluetooth Classic can do, and much much more), but if you are making something that needs connectivity to an existing, older Bluetooth Classic product then you will have to use another vendors ICs that are able to do Bluetooth Classic.

Who or what lead you to believe that Nordic IC's were able to use HFP and A2DP (Bluetooth Classic) specifically?
