Subject: Does BlueZ support the LE only controller which does not have BR/EDR?

Hi,

I use CSR chip that support dual mode as LE mode by setting
'ControllerMode' in main.conf to 'le'. I'd like to use LE only chip
which does not have BR/EDR.

Does BlueZ support the LE only controller which does not have BR/EDR?


Thank you!

Yes it does (I'm using it with nRF52 based controllers running either Apache
Mynew or Zephyr). Also, starting 5.44 it also supports LE-only controllers
that come without public address - bluetoothd will assign static random
address in such case.
