This fork of the Zephyr HCI UART example adds a custom HCI Command to allow for timesync between the Bluetooth Host and the Bluetooth Controller. When the HCI LE Read ISO Clock command is received, the Controller toggles a GPIO and returns its current Bluetooth LE ISO Clock in the Command Complete Event.
It has been tested on the nRF5340 Audio DK, but it should work with any nRF5340 dev kit.
- nRF Connect SDK v2.8 or newer
- OGF: 0x3f, OCF: 0x200
- Parameters: Flags (1 Octet) unused
- Response: HCI Command Complete Event with status and 4 bytes timestamp in microseconds
The first Virtual UART (UART1, ...) is Zephyr UART 1 The second Virtual UART (UART2, ...) is Zephyr UART 0

The first UART (UART1, P1.04, P1.05) is only available via test points (TP60, TP61, ...) The second UART (UART2, P1.08, P1.09) is connected to the Arduino headers.

To use UART 1 via Arduino headers, the virtual UART of the J-Link probe needs to be disabled, e.g. with the JLink Configuration Tool.
