Scope

As part of RDKM Broadband team we want to bringup IoT Barton on a platform of choice and make it available as reference for the community,The platform should be broader enough to support all IoT use cases so that depending on operator requirement he/she can test their specific use cases

...

• Platform Name	Bluetooth/BLE	Zigbee	Thread	Wi-Fi	Number of USB Ports	References
  Banana Pi R4	No Inbuilt BT & supported only through  USB / USB3.0 hub	No Inbuilt support (Supported through USB 3.0 hub)	No Inbuilt supportSupported through USB 3.0 hub,Update got from Austin team)	Yes	1 (can be used for BT)	BT Integration in BPI R4 Bluetooth support in Banana Pi R4(Reference) - Generic Module
  Raspberry Pi 4	Yes	Supported through USB	TBD through USB	Yes	4

...

• Does USB 3.0 hub can be used to connect USB Bluetooth,USB Zigbee,USB Thread dongles
  • Yes,If so did we confirm
    • BT USB tested - Details can be found here - Bluetooth support in Banana Pi R4(Reference) - Generic Module
    • Zigbee detected through ACM interface by enabling kernel config for acm (CONFIG_USB_ACM)

single USB dongle for Zigbee,Matter 

•  Yes - Silab's xG24 Explorer Kit (brd2703a)
