How can I use the USB BLE dongle on mac?
I want to use it to replace my mac's built-in bluetooth as host to communicate to the ek board. So it is more like a sniffer application.
well it will be a lot easier to figure out why you're having trouble getting OSX to work with the EK than it will be to build a custom application on the dongle and a custom app on the mac to work around it.
If you were thinking that you could just plug the dongle in and have it work like an external bluetooth adaptor, you can't, it doesn't work like that. And as far as I remember, even if you did have a 3rd party external BTLE adaptor, OSX doesn't support them, it only supports using BTLE over the internal BTLE chipset.
You'd probably be better off heading to the apple dev forums, or the apple bluetooth dev list if that's the bit you're having trouble with.
