Is Bluetooth support planned for the Instrument Control Toolbox on Linux?

I want to connect to an Arduino using bluetooth, but 'instrhwinfo('Bluetooth')' says that Bluetooth is not supported on Linux.

However I can open a serial port using 'serialport('/dev/rfcomm0', 115200)' which is why I do not understand why it is not supported.

Is Bluetooth support planned for the Instrument Control Toolbox or do I need to find another solution?

I understand that you are not able to connect with bluetooth using MATLAB on LINUX.

You can connect bluetooth with the arduino device and transmit data over the bluetooth interface using instrument control toolbox. I am attaching a document link which will help you in learning about it more. https://www.mathworks.com/help/instrument/reading-and-writing-data-over-the-bluetooth-interface.html?u

About your query that usage of the command 'instrhwinfo('Bluetooth')' says that Bluetooth is not supported on Linux, you may want to go through this link, https://in.mathworks.com/help/instrument/bluetooth-interface-overview.html. It clearly says that supported platforms for bluetooths are macOS and Microsoft windows- 64 bit.
