Using HCI mode over KitProg USB-UART

I'm using the Pioneer 042 BLE board with a long range module (224110). I'd like to use the HCI mode and then connect the UART to the Kitprog so I can communicate over the com port provided over USB.

   

The problem is that the BLE module enables flow control by default but nowhere to connect those pins from what I can tell.

   

How do I either:

   

1. Support flow control over the Kitprog UART and how to connect those pins 

   

2. Disable flow control in the project for HCI mode.

   

 

   

Thanks in advance.

Look at the baseboard schematic. The USB-UART bridge just needs an UART on the PSoC and uses the connection to the Kitprog. Check for the required pins.

Post you code so we can check it.

I was just using the example code but the answer is to upgrade the BLE component to 3.2 which adds the feature to disable flow control.

   

However, now I need to figure out how to get kitprog USB to Uart bridge to look like an HCI device.

   

Any ideas?
