How to build a BLE Test interface running on windows, Linux PC with BLE dongle

I am starting to develop BLE peripheral devices (with own GATT profiles etc.).

I am looking for test equipment to test those devices. Is it possible to use a BLE/Bluetooth USB Dongle, which can interact with a test application to run on a normal Linux or windows PC?

When I say "test" I do not mean radio tests routines.

So i am looking for existing solutions/tools/frameworks for this purpose.

There are a number of great tools for Linux that can be used for BLE development and testing. These include:

  • bluetoothctl
  • l2ping
  • hcitool
  • gatttool

However my go to choice for testing is an Android application available on the Android App Store called "nRF Connect".

I have not found comparable tools for the Windows platform.
