Has any work been done to create a common software interface to BLE in combo modules that matches the interface in BLE only modules?

This could be a set of AT commands for BLE that's common regardless of the physical format of the BLE module. This could be an EZ-BLE implementation for the Bluetooth portion of a combo module. Ideally it would be a stdio wrapper for any BLE interface.

The use case is to develop a single software interface for a set of products that could be populated with various types of Bluetooth or WiFi/Bluetooth Radio.

Hi Greg,

As of now we don ot have any plan for Ez-BLE platform or AT command structure for BLE on Combo chips.

However you can send HCI commands to make BLE work. To enable this, you have to program the Combo chip with bt_mfg_test project available in WICED SDK. ( path - /43xxx_Wi-Fi/apps/test/bt_mfg_test )

Thanks,
Anjana

Inventek's IWIN software is the only high level Combo Module SW abstraction (WICED) that I'm aware of today.
