https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/40420/nrf52-pdk-on-linux-with-bluez-toolsHi , I am working on customize tools utilizing the nrf python codes. In linux I came to know about BLE libraries bluez and also about hcitools. I have setup for linux 64bit ubuntu 14.04 which have all codecs which I found over net required for BLEen-USTelligent Community 13Tue, 13 Nov 2018 12:47:28 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/157084?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 13 Nov 2018 12:47:28 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:8766ff1f-9719-4822-aed5-5f594d79cbb1Vidar Berg<p>Hi,</p> <p>nRFconnect&nbsp; uses serialized softdevice APIs to control the connectivity chip&nbsp;similar to the setup shown&nbsp;here (PC == application processor):&nbsp;<a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v15.2.0/nrf51_setups_serialization.html?cp=4_0_0_1_4">http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v15.2.0/nrf51_setups_serialization.html?cp=4_0_0_1_4</a>., while the bluez host in Ubuntu will only work with connectivity HW that supports the HCI interface. Our bluetooth stack (softdevice - host + controller) does not expose this interface to the application.</p> <p>Here are some options</p> <p>1. Use the <a href="https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver">pc-ble-driver&nbsp;</a>with Nordic HW to create your custom tool. Python and Javascript wrappers are available.&nbsp;</p> <p>2. Create a HCI compatible controller with Nordic HW and Zephyr (<a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.whitepapers/dita/whitepapers/nwp_029/intro.html?cp=11_2">whitepaper</a>)</p> <p>3.
