Hi Will,
I'm not building the controller lib for the image that runs on the
stm32f4Discovery board. I'm building it as a Host Only. So I build the
host, HCI, and uart transport. Broadcom's Bluetooth core is really a
BlackBox to me, I don't have any way to debug what's going on there (except
maybe using a BLE sniffer and seeing packets going out on the interface)
Thanks,
Pritish
