I'm running the Zephyr hci_usb sample on a nRF52833DK to see if I can use it as a Bluetooth dongle on my Ubuntu dev machine. It appears as /dev/ttyACM0, so:
sudo btmon
In another window:
sudo btattach -B /dev/ttyACM0 -P bcsp -S 1000000
btmon shows

After this, hciconfig and rfkill say there is an hci0
~$ hciconfig -a hci0

~$ rfkill list

Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
But there is no controller available according to btmgmt, so I can't power it up
~$ btmgmt info
Index list with 0 items
What do I do from here to work with this?
Thanks,
Michael
