@amartino: If you simply want to run BLE application on Linux, you can use our ble-driver-pc here there are python and nodejs bindings in the github also. The driver based on the serialization firmware running on the nRF52.

@Vidar If it isn't through HCI, what is the official way to provide bluetooth connectivity to userspace applications running on the host?

The Linux stack should work with any BLE device that supports the HCI interface, but I have not tried to do this with NimBLE running on our 52.

@Vidar Does that mean that if one wants to use the nrf52832 to provide Bluetooth connectivity to a embedded Linux board it's not possible to use the Linux Bluetooth stack?

Our Bluetooth stacks (Softdevice) does not expose this interface, but there is an open source stack called NimBLE that you might be able to use for this: http://mynewt.apache.org/os/tutorials/blehci_project/
