Hi Simon, do you have any ETA on a dev kit which would enable us to work with direction finding?

Thanks :)

I'm sorry, but we don't have any reference design for direction-finding antenna arrays as of yet. We are currently working on a solution with a development kit + antenna array + firmware. As of now, what we can say is that an array and external RF switches will be necessary to switch between the antennas in your AoA/AoD design. You can read up on Bluetooth 5.1 in this blog post.

We do not have anything official for you as of yet I'm afraid, but keep an eye out for news from us regarding this.

Best regards,

Simon
