Hello,
I am trying to get the adapter emulator working for BLE but I am
having some issues:
pi@RPi3:~/bluez/bluez-5.43 $ sudo ./emulator/btvirt -l2
Bluetooth emulator ver 5.43
Failed to open Virtual HCI device
If I select BR/ER only then it works:
pi@RPi3:~/bluez/bluez-5.43 $ sudo emulator/btvirt -B -l2
Bluetooth emulator ver 5.43
As in another terminal I can see the extra adapters:
pi@RPi3:~ $ bluetoothctl list
[NEW] Controller 00:AA:01:01:00:24 RPi3 #3 [default]
[NEW] Controller 00:AA:01:00:00:23 RPi3 #2
[NEW] Controller B8:27:EB:22:57:E0 RPi3
I have also tried with just LE only controller:
pi@RPi3:~/bluez/bluez-5.43 $ sudo emulator/btvirt -L -l2
Bluetooth emulator ver 5.43
Failed to open Virtual HCI device
The btmon trace for this is:

Any suggestions as to what the issue might be?
Or what to try next?
Thanks,
Barry
A little more investigating on this and the issue seems to be on the
Raspberry Pi 3 hardware.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is an issue on the RPi?
