Research direction

Start with Firmware/Linux_HCI/HCI.py and trace every use of the deprecated hcitool command. Compare those operations with btmgmt and current BlueZ documentation, then verify that the replacement supports all functionality required by the OpenHaystack firmware tag implementation on a current Linux system.

Description

bug

HCI.py uses hcitool command:
https://github.com/seemoo-lab/openhaystack/blob/main/Firmware/Linux_HCI/HCI.py

unfortunately hcitool is deprecated in latest BlueZ. i have no idea what is correct replacement in the latest version. at least for some use cases there seems to be tool called btmgmt, but at this point i cannot tell if that provides all the functionality needed by openhaystack firmware tag implementation.
