hciconfig is not showing my nrf52840 dongle on my linux terminal

Hi,

I flashed my nrf52840 dongle by nrf Desktop connect app with ble-blinky hex file from nRF5_SDK_15.2.0_9412b96 SDK and I am able to connect to it from nrf connect ios app.

But unable to see the device on hciconfig.

Basing on this below link flashed the dongle with ble_connectivity_s140_usb_hci_pca10059.hex which I got from SDK instead of Zephyr BLE HCI_USB controller firmware as I didn't find its hex file.

What should be done to make the dongle visible in hciconfig.. ??

  • Hi 

    Yes we went ahead on bluez. We are able to scan and make communication between BT server and client.

    On the top of bluez we installed bluepy and after installing bluepy you will get some python source files with which you can test.

    But for testing you can use bluepy files but later is is better to go with any other way like your reference link .

    NOTE:

    1. We didnt go further on this as we are having other priority tasks. 

    2. In some blog I read that bluepy gives support only for bluetooth 4.2 and not for 5.
