nRF52 + Standard HCI support

[Milan]

Hi Team,

I have gone through many threads on the forum but still in doubt regarding how to interface nrf52 over HCI to the Linux based host. 

My understanding is currently there is no support of HCI in native Nordic SDK and there exist some custom solution.

Also, the custom python based solution is over UART, some sort of serial command and responses.  I am confused why there is no standard HCI support then.

Please correct me here and provide the latest status.

Hi,

The python based solution (assuming you're referring to pc-ble-driver) uses serialized softdevice APIs to control Bluetooth connectivity, not HCI commands. The softdevice does not expose interface HCI  to the application, but you can use the HCI implementation from the Zephyr project. We have a whitepaper on it here: https://www.nordicsemi.com/-/media/DocLib/Other/White_Papers/nwp029pdf.pdf
