Functions are declared in esp_bt.h file but not included in the build. Examples build fine using release v3.2.0

[me-no-dev]

Arduino 3.3.0 uses NimBLE underneath, while previous versions use BlueDroid. Either use older version or move to using the BLE library included in Arduino

[pennam]

@me-no-dev Is NimBLE enabled only for C6 and H2 ? other boards like S3 and C3 are still building fine.

[pennam]

looks like that even using NimBLE esp_vhci_* functions are available for C3 and S3
