nRF52 Bluetooth HCI

Hi,

I am trying to get this nRF52 bluetooth dongle to work with my Turris Omnia.

I am using Zephyr HCI USB example on the dongle and Turris OS v5.1.10

Using btmgmt I get:

[mgmt]# info
Index list with 1 item
hci0:   Primary controller
        addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 version 11 manufacturer 1521 class 0x000000
        supported settings: powered connectable discoverable bondable le advertising secure-conn debug-keys privacy static-addr 
        current settings: bondable le secure-conn 
        name 
        short name 
[mgmt]# power on
Set Powered for hci0 failed with status 0x03 (Failed)

Does anyone know why power on fails? The dongle works fine on my desktop.

Thanks

Using btmon

Could it be an issue with the kernel?
