Open-Source Contribution Update: Shell Over BLE
summary
A generalized Bluetooth LE transport for Zephyr is now merged into upstream Zephyr and exposes Nordic NUS-style serial over GATT so the Zephyr shell can run over BLE. Configuration requires device-tree nodes for sephyr,nus and Kconfig flags (enable BT, shell, bt_nus or bt_enable) and optional throughput tuning. Live demo builds a Blinky sample, flashes a nRF52840 board, and uses a Python Bluetooth CLI on a MacBook to run shell commands, read sensors, toggle LEDs, and stream logs — intended for small CLI traffic not high-throughput data.
