Hi all,
I can see here: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723bs_bt Bluetooth
support for RTL8723BS chip support. This chip should support Bluetooth
Low Energy, based on this -
https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Realtek_RTL8723BS_Combo_Module_(SDIO),
although I do not see BLE mention in the datasheet:
http://space.cechina.cn/infosharedownload.aspx?id=1011.
I was wondering about the satate of this driver and BLE (not only
Bluetooth, but specifically Bletooth Low Energy) support in Linux for
this WiFi chip - did anybody use it, have this been proven to work for
someone?
Best regards,
Drasko

I created that repo from the driver that Realtek sent me. My only changes were
to ensure that it built on a number of kernel versions.
As I have no idea who wrote the wikidevi.com article, I have no idea if they
knew much about this chip. I am certain that the datasheet came from Realtek. If
they do not mention Bluetooth Low Energy, then the chip probably does not
support it.
