Hi,
I can help clarify some things here, but don't have a good answer.

[quote user="Pascal K"] is there a different approach we can take in the meantime?[/quote]

Don't think there is no easy answer here but I would recommend to port your "old" code to Zephyr. I believe that to be the simplest solution. You don't have to use SEGGER if you don't want, there are other options like C-make and Ozone for debugging as an example.

[quote user="Pascal K"]Do you think it is feasible, that we extract and modify the Zephyr Bluetooth host to fit our needs?[/quote]

Not sure if anyone ha tried this but i assume it is a "backwards" solution that is quite hefty. I would ask in e Zephyr forum for more clarification on this but I assume that it is not he best bet.

[quote user="Pascal K"]Or is there a repository of the previous nRF5 SoftDevices that we could extract the host from?[/quote]

The SD is closed so this is not possible.

Regards,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for the fast reply.

Since you don't have a Bluetooth host you can suggest for us, what was the intention of the architecture diagram shown in your documentation? The use case of someone implementing their own Bluetooth Host sounds like a tremendous task and looking online, I couldn't find any RTOS agnostic implementations.

I will contact our RSM and ask about that.

As this will probably take quite some time, if it is even checked, is there a different approach we can take in the meantime?

Hi,

[quote user=""]Are you planning on providing a Bluetooth Host that can be used in RTOS-free development[/quote]

Currently we don't have any news on this. So the answer is more or les the same as in the post from one year ago that you linked to, at least for now.

And as far as suggestions for other third party we i don't have any specifics.

If you want to put some request on such a feature then i recommend that you contact your regional sales manger and ask through there.

Regards,
Jonathan
