Is there any way to access the Bluetooth interface on V5 brains?

The System Architecture page mentions that V5 brains have Bluetooth capabilities

Both V5 radios also support Bluetooth 4.2, thanks to the Texas Instruments CC2640 Bluetooth Smart Wireless MCU. With this, tablets will be able to download programs to the Robot Brain. This also allows connectivity to multiple devices at once. Future updates will add Robot-to-Robot communications. VEXnet 3 and Bluetooth can be used for driving, downloading, and debugging. Controllers can be tethered together for dual driver support.

Do any of the programming options currently support using this capability programmatically? Neither the PROS V5 API documentation nor help.vex.com mentions any methods on the API surface.

Specifically, I’d like to use this Bluetooth connectivity for debugging purposes. Would I need to write a driver to interact with Bluetooth devices?

Thanks so much!
