There is one important point I forgot to mention. The nimble host does not currently support host-side flow control. This means that it has no way of telling the controller to stop sending data when the host's buffers are exhausted. This is not a problem for large systems with plenty of memory available (e.g., Mynewt simulated under Linux or Mac OS). However, you will probably have issues running a host-only build on an nRF board. Flow control has been on the roadmap for a long time, but it keeps getting pushed back / procrastinated on :). In the combined-host-controller case, the lack of flow control is not an issue, as the same memory pools are shared by both the host and controller. Chris
