Can nRF52840 dongle act as BLE USB Adapter?

[Felix Shih]

Can 52840 dongle program as BLE adapter for development usage like the following URL? Just for development test, so I don't need to buy one.

If so, which example in NCS should be programed?

Depends on the host OS. Windows: Nope, needs BT classic support on thr stick.

Linux may be possible as host OS.

Hi Turbo J ,

You mean it need BlueZ stack installed on the Linux host, but Windows doesn't have BLE stack installed, so Windows can't do that?

Does BLE USB adapter communicate with host through HCI commands?
