The Host Controller Interface is meant to expose an interface against a controller, to be used from a host layer. Since we provide both parts, the interface is already tightly coupled with the host layer, and is not accessible in the final SoftDevice product.</p> <p>If you need some HCI for use on Windows/Linux, there are some options. See one of these questions: <a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/question/104036/hci-controlling-interface-nrf52/">devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../</a> <a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/question/103261/nrf52832-hci-firmware/">devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../</a> <a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/question/38248/nrf51822-s120-hci-command-support/">devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../</a></p> <p>Or make use of the PC driver <a href="https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver">github.com/.../pc-ble-driver</a></p> <p>Alternatively use the older Master Control Panel and its included hex file, that speaks HCI: <a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/Products/nRF51-DK">www.nordicsemi.com/.../nRF51-DK</a> (it does not have the latest link layer features).</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
