Edgefast Open not available on SDK

Since SDK version 26.09.00, EdgeFast Bluetooth PAL will be deprecated, I wanna start to test and switch to new EdgeFast Open.
As stated in the documentation:
https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com/mcuxsdk/latest/html/middleware/edgefast_open/docs/MCUXSDKEFOPENUG/topics/...

It seems possible to test the new library using the MCUXPresso IDE, so I downloaded the last 26.06 SDK for RT685, RT1060, and RT1170 from the MCUXpresso SDK Builder and tried importing an example, but I couldn't find any examples that use the "open" library. It appears that only the PAL version is included in that SDK.

I also tested with MCUXPresso for VSC, downloading the repository from GitHub. I see the library in the source and manifest files, but it's not included in any of the board examples.

How can I try to test the new EdgeFast library?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Edgefast Open not available on SDK

I started right there.
The problem is:
- The SDK generated for MCUXPresso contains no trace of the library or the examples.
- The library and examples are present on GitHub. I cloned the repo and can see the files, but it's still not possible to import an example that uses this library.

HI,

Please take a look at the following directory of the mcux SDK mcuxsdk\middleware\edgefast_open.

Re: Edgefast Open not available on SDK

You will need to get the SDK from the repo. Not from the SDK builder.

Then, you can build the example as follows:

C:\mcux_26_06\mcuxsdk\mcuxsdk>west build -b evkbmimxrt1170 middleware/edgefast_open/examples/peripheral_ht --build-dir build_peripheral_ht --pristine -- -Dcore_id=cm7

Then to flash it:

C:\mcux_26_06\mcuxsdk\mcuxsdk>west flash --build-dir build_peripheral_ht

Output:

BLE Peripheral HT demo start...
                               Bluetooth initialized
                                                    Advertising successfully started
