HCI SPI - how to use

Piotr Barszczewski <piotr@...>
 

Hello,

I’ve found that Zephyr HCI stack supports SPI as transport and there is an implementation available https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/samples/bluetooth/hci_spi/README.html 
I’m wondering how could this actually be tested - just by sending raw HCI bytes to the board flashed with https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/tree/main/samples/bluetooth/hci_spi ?

My interest is in somehow making it possible for embedded Linux distribution be able to use SPI transport for HCI. With all the chip shortages of recent months and unsure about future I’m looking for a way to get rid of relying on USB. Uart would be good but is already used + I need more than 1, so besides USB I’ve only got SPI left but not sure how it’s supposed to be tested. Guess I’m missing what the host should do, with USB it’s clear.

Is there anybody who has prior experience with running the HCI SPI implementation?

Best regards
