> Key: MYNEWT-333
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYNEWT-333
> Project: Mynewt
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: Public(Viewable by anyone)
> Reporter: William San Filippo
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: NimBLE
>
> The bluetooth specification does not prohibit a device from attempting to
> initiate a connection and scan simultaneously. Note that I am not referring
> to the ability to do both at the same instant of time; I am referring to the
> ability of a controller to alternate between scanning and initiating. The
> current nimBLE controller only has one scanning state machine and that state
> machine object is used by an initiator and a scanner. This is the reason why,
> if either scanning or initiating is currently enabled, the controller will
> not allow the host to scan/initiate; there would have to be multiple
> instantiations of this object (and other aspects of the controller would have
> to change).
> Note that the controller does allow for scanning while there is a connection
> (or multiple connections) ongoing.
