Hello,

Our embedded platform is running Linux Kernel 4.1 and BlueZ-4.101.
We have received a new requirement to work simultaneously in LE Central and Peripheral modes, a functionality introduced in Bluetooth 4.1.
Would it be feasible to get the concurrent Central and Peripheral modes running on BlueZ-4.101 by backporting the corresponding changes from newer BlueZ (and kernel) versions? Or do we have to migrate to BlueZ-5?

Many thanks,
Edo Sevc

4.101 is too old afaik it doesn't support LE peripheral mode, so I would suggest you to upgrade to BlueZ 5 since you already have a quite recent kernel.
