Generic HCI Timeline

[saeidakbari]

I want to inquire about the timeline for the support of using Bluetooth Generic HCI in the project. Currently, the crate supports BLE mesh using the Nordic SoftDevice and the nrf-softdevice crate which can only be achieved by explicitly flashing the SoftDevice, which can be quite a hassle.

Could you please provide an update on when we might expect support for Bluetooth HCI?

Im not aware of any effort Implementering btmesh on HCI. But the good news is that this should be easier than ever to do, using the bt-hci crate and trouble-host, which would allow it to work on nrf, esp32, Pico w, and more.

Thanks, I'm really looking forward to Open a PR on this but I'm not sure if trouble-host supports all features behind btmesh since it is limited compare to nrf-softdevice.
