Hi Robert, thanks for your process, unfortunately it didn’t work
for me.
My Mac doesn’t appear to behave as Apple describe in TN2295.
Returning bluetoothHostControllerSwitchBehavior back
to default
I would have expected the OS X to grab the external Dongle, however
this isn’t happening, I still see the BroadCom device as selected device.
However the Mac is aware of the external CSR Dongle as I can see it in
the list of USB devices:
USB 3.0
Hi-Speed Bus:
Host Controller
Location: Built-in USB
Host Controller
Driver: AppleUSBXHCI
PCI Device ID: 0x1e31
PCI Revision ID: 0x0004
PCI Vendor ID: 0x8086
Bus Number: 0x14
CSR8510
A10:
Product ID: 0x100b
Vendor ID: 0x0a12 (Cambridge Silicon Radio
Ltd.)
Version: 88.91
Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
Location ID: 0x14200000 / 1
Current Available
(mA): 500
Current Required
(mA): 100
So why is the Mac not wanting to attach to the external device, as
documented? What am I missing/not understanding?
This is what I see with bluetoothHostControllerSwitchBehavior
back to default!!

CoreBluetooth[WARNING] <CBConcreteCentralManager: 0x885be70> is not
powered on
These steps work for me with the Cirago BTA8000 adapter:
- ensure that the BLE dongle is not plugged in
- ensure that the simulator is not running
- issue the appropriate NVRAM command (eg. "never")
- launch the simulator application

Having finally acquire a BLE adapter and gone through the NVRAM setup
and seeing that it has worked (see below, system connecting to the internal
BLE, leaving the external for the simulator), it now would appear that the
simulator is unable to see the external adapter and “turn it on”!
Running the example code [centralManager state] is consistently
returning CBCentralManagerStatePoweredOff. All attempts to use settings on the
simulator just result in the rotating (waiting for update) wheel.
The external adapter I have (from CSR, I have 2 and both behave the
same way) is obviously powered up, as there is a flashing blue light.
Where am I going wrong, are there any admin issues, perhaps my instance
of the simulator doesn’t have sufficient authority to access the
external adapter?
