Windows driver for hci_uart

[mabe]

Is an adaptation of https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-driver-samples/tree/main/bluetooth/serialhcibus for the Nordic / Zephyr hci_uart sample available?

Like https://github.com/worproject/cywbtserialbus from Cypress?

Hi Markus, 

Unfortunately there isn't an adaptation for/from Nordic as far as I know. The hci_uart sample in Zephyr support the standard HCI over UART protocol defined by Bluetooth SIG. So it should work with the host that supports the same standard. But I don't know if it works out of the box with the driver you provided above. It works with BlueZ on Linux though.

It was also my understanding that it should work with the Windows hciserialbus. However, that involves creating a binary windows driver. The Windows sample is a sample only and will not work out of the box without adaptation.

Hi Markus, 
I don't have much experience with the Windows driver. I will check internally and will let you know if there is any info about that.

Hi again, 
I got the feedback that there isn't a driver for that. Part of the reason is that Microsoft only supports dual mode (Classic Bluetooth and BLE) so for us with BLE only, it's difficult.
