             Summary: newtmgr - BLE support that doesn't require blehostd
                 Key: MYNEWT-786
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYNEWT-786
             Project: Mynewt
          Issue Type: New Feature
      Security Level: Public (Viewable by anyone)
          Components: Newtmgr
            Reporter: Christopher Collins
            Assignee: Christopher Collins
             Fix For: v1_1_0_rel


newtmgr currently supports BLE as a transport via blehostd, a NimBLE host running in a simulated OS.  This implementation works, but it comes with the following issues:

    * Inability to use the built-in Bluetooth controller in MacOS.
    * Hassle of setting up and configuring blehostd.

The task captured in this ticket is to add a second form of BLE support to newtmgr which addresses these shortcomings.
