Does CircuitPython support any of the new Bluetooth 5.0 feat

[andreas_johnsen]

Hei,

Does CircuitPython support any of the new Bluetooth 5.0 features like :

- Advertisement extensions
- 2Mbps PHY (high speed)
- Coded PHY (long distance)

You would be a better judge of this than I am, but looking a the latest release docs it does not look like any BLE 5 features are included as of yet. Would you agree? There is some support for advertisting, but not necessarily the extensions and no mention of PHY speed / distance configs.

You can also scan through the open/closed issues on github.

Extended advertisements will be used for advertisment buffers over 31 bytes long: https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpyth ... ter.c#L659

We don't support switching the PHY but we are able to negotiate large MTU and shorter connection intervals. I'd be happy to help guide the addition of the other PHYs.
