Wio Terminal and Bluetooth

The spec of the Wio Terminal refers to bluetooth 5 but I cannot find any reference to bluetooth in any documentation or samples. From what I can gather this would need an update the the firmware in the RTL8720. Is there any timeframe for this or is this a DIY job.

Bluetooth features, which are still under development, are expected to be released soon.

Also trying to work out whether the RTL8720DN has the BLE5 long range phy. Realtek (as usual) make it hard to find full technical datasheets. (Unlike the ESP32). https://www.amebaiot.com/en/control-mcu/ does not list the RTL8720DN.

Hi, Any update on Bluetooth, BLE feature ? can provide an Arduino Example?
Tks

@KhinYong_Chong We will release BLE software this week.

Thanks for the good news, will download and do some testing.

That will be great. Thank you!

Hi I have updated my firmware according to the wiki and have tried BLE client and server code and cannot see my device on nrfConnect Samsung S8 BT5. I have followed the example on the Wiki.
The serial monitor does not show any data as well. Please help.
