Hi,

We have realized that LMX9830 doesn't have HCI controller. The 
communicating with the chip is via an specific set of commands, and so, 
the HCI drivers and hciattach are not suitable for us.

We guess that we must develop our own driver that substitutes HCI 
driver, but we are not sure where we should start working. I would like 
to know if there's any effort done in this way in the BlueZ development.

We are open to any suggestion or hint that can gives us some light to 
this matter.

Regards,

David
