In the past I've used modules based on the Cypress CYW20706.  That device supported a Cypress-custom HCI.  In order to use standard HCI commands (ie, Bluez), firmware needed to be downloaded to the module.  Even if it was a do-nothing app.  The firmware was created using WICED Studio and downloaded by the Bluez hciattach command.

Can you tell me if the CYW4343W natively supports standard HCI commands.  That is, without BT firmware?

Thanks,
     Steve

Hi Steve,

In order to recognize HCI command, CYW4343W will need a BT firmware (Path in WICED SDK- /43xxx_Wi-Fi/libraries/drivers/bluetooth). Without it, device will fail to process HCI command.
