Which OS when focusing on Bluetooth + Wi-Fi?

[SambaSam]

Hi!
A complete newbe here, waiting for my ESP32 development board. I will use this board mainly to do BLE, Classic Bluetooth and Wi-Fi stuff. Play around with packet capturing and see what frames look like. Got a few questions I hope someone can help answering.

1. Which OS should I aim for to get the best support in terms of drivers and APIs to the wirless parts?
2. Any good references to documentation/projects where people have been playing around with Wi-Fi/Bluetooth on this board?

Any other good tips/suggestions are very welcome. Thanks!

Cheers!
Sam

Hi,

think the OS don't matter for programming but I am using Ubuntu. See others using Windows and iOS or Ubuntu in a vitual box.
For BLE discovering I use a Android mobile APP from nordic "nRF Connect".
For a small BLE/WiFi example with esp-idf you can watch the samplecode here https://github.com/pcbreflux/espressif/ ... on_tracker and a demo here https://youtu.be/F4tMvfXDSbU.
