v1.7.0 not working with HCI

[jerryneedell]

I was testing the the Circuitpython _bleio using the ESP32 as per adafruit/circuitpython#3310

on a metro_m4_airlift_lite

It works with the NINA HCI BT firmware attached to the PR
I tried building it myself and create NINA_W102-1.7.0.bin
but when I try it, it fails:

Press any key to enter the REPL. Use CTRL-D to reload.

Note, the WiFi still works

@jerryneedell I am getting the same failure as you. WiFi works.

Adafruit CircuitPython 6.0.0-alpha.3-95-ga9779b99f on 2020-09-07; Adafruit Metro M4 Airlift Lite with samd51j19

Auto-reload is on. Simply save files over USB to run them or enter REPL to disable.
code.py output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "code.py", line 5, in <module>
  File "/lib/adafruit_airlift/esp32.py", line 170, in start_bluetooth
_bleio.BluetoothError: Timeout waiting for HCI response

For clarity, the example code being run is:

from adafruit_ble import BLERadio
from adafruit_airlift.esp32 import ESP32

esp32 = ESP32()
adapter = esp32.start_bluetooth()
ble = BLERadio(adapter)

Fixed with 1.7.1
