Support for csi data and iq samples

[Kaj-Sören Grunow <ka...@physec.de>]

Hello mynewt team,

we are interested in using NimBLE in combination with a Dialog DA14695. For our application it is essential that we can obtain some data from the bluetooth hardware, like csi data and iq samples. Is this already supported by NimBLE? If not is there a plan to support this in the future?


Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Best regards

We have tentative plans to add support for Direction Finding but no ETA (the 
DKs with antennas array are not that easy to get...). Probably first on Nordic 
HW due to open HW specs though. That would allow you to enable transmission 
and reception of CTE (which gives basically IQ data of packet extension) via 
HCI interface.

However, if you're willing to work on that we would gladly do code/arch review 
:-)
