Note: Details of the tested Bluetooth LE Audio use cases:

  • Number of streams:

    • 1-CIG | upto 4-CIS with 1 LE ACL (for 4-CIS: execute only mono UCs, SDU Int: 10ms)

    • 1-CIG | upto 4-CIS with 4 separate LE ACL (for 4-CIS: SDU Size= Max 100 Oct, PHY=2M, RTN=1, SDU Int: 10ms only) (execute only mono UCs for 4-CIS)

    • 1-BIG | upto 4-BIS (for 4-BIS: execute only mono UCs, SDU Int: 10ms only)

  • PHY: 2M and 1M

  • Audio mode: mono (for 1 to 4 streams) and stereo (for 1 stream)

  • Packing: sequential and interleaved

  • Bit rate: maximum 96kbps

    • For 1-CIG with upto 3-CIS: maximum bit rate 96kbps

    • For 1-CIG with 4-CIS: maximum bit rate 80kbps

    • For 1-BIG with 4-BIS: maximum bit rate 80kbps

    • For 2-CIG cases: maximum bit rate 80kbps

  • Mode: unframed mode

  • 48_5 and 48_6 mono and stereo configurations are not supported.

Details of the tested Bluetooth coexistence (Bluetooth + Bluetooth LE Audio) use cases:

[^1] Experimental feature intended for evaluation/early development only and not production. Incomplete mandatory certification.

[^2] LE audio feature is supported for standalone scenarios only and not for BR/EDR and Wi-Fi coexistence scenarios such as LE audio + BR/EDR link or LE audio + Wi-Fi link. From the perspective of NXP Edgefast Bluetooth host stack, LE audio feature can be disabled by the CONFIG_BT_AUDIO macro without impact on any other features. LE audio feature can be tested by the user, using their own supported host stack.
