Hello everyone.  This is my first post on this forum.  Quick question and a request for more links to information about the BCM4339.

Question: The Android SDK does not prohibit connecting to a BLE slave during a BLE scan.  But I don't know if the BCM4339 is designed to explicitly scan for BLE devices and connect to them at the same time.  Does anyone know?  If the chip explicitly supports that, then how many devices can I expect to connect to while scanning?

Also, I would like to make sure I have as much information about the BCM4339 as possible.  Here's what I've got so far, and are there any other links I can look at?

Unfortunately, the BCM4339 is not one of the products supported within the Broadcom WICED Wi-Fi community.  This product would need to be supported through the more traditional support channel which requires an NDA and local Broadcom/Distribution Partner FAE support along with Docsafe access (internal support site).
