Does the STM32WBA65 support the channel sounding feature of BLE 6.0?

The product page and datasheet only mention BLE Core 6.0 but don't call out channel sounding support explicitly like other BLE features. Is it actually supported?

Best answer by Petr DAVID

Yes, the STM32WBA6 is Bluetooth LE 6.0 certified. However, it does not support Channel Sounding.
Please note that Channel Sounding is not only a software feature; it also requires specific hardware/IP support in the device architecture, which is not available on STM32WBA6.

Kind regards,
Petr

Thank you for the fast reply Petr!

Is channel sounding something that you expect ST to support with a different device in the future?

What about STM32WBA2x? 

Documentation mentions it:

 

There is already example for AoA. But nothing about sounding.
