> > > hey @btashton, I'm experimenting with nimBLE stack. I noticed they support HCI on Linux using BTPROTO_HCI socket (they do L2CAP themselves). I managed to get things more or less built and testing using SIM. I also pulled your changes from this PR since it would otherwise fail on bind(). I'm at the point of sendto() in bluetooth_sockif.c. It seems sending over HCI is not supported. Do you think it would be feasible to support on NuttX? I know that the idea is to use BTPROTO_L2CAP but also supporting sending HCI commands directly over BTPROTO_HCI would be nice to have. I have suggested the nimBLE stack several times in the past. It is a newer and more established than what is in the repository now which is 3rd party code owned by Intel. nimBLE, on the other hand, is a AFS project. It is part of Apache MyNewt. Etiquette would require that we establish some dialog and get that project's blessing to reuse nimBLE. One or our mentors, Justin McLean is on the Apache MyNewt PMC (he is the project chair). It would be good to start some dialog with the project to see how they would feel about that. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
