Problem
Linux platform layer provides functions for the BLE peripheral, however the BLE central role is only partially implemented. As a result, Linux native controllers, such as
examples/chip-tool
cannot initiate a BLE connection and perform Rendezvous over BLE.Although
examples/chip-tool
may get deprecated in the future due to #4334, the changes posted here may still be useful if one needs to implement another controller app, or add the controller capabilities toexamples/shell
