Well I never tried using a different firmware other than this one here https://github.com/OpenELEC/misc-firmwar...3430A1.hcd for initializing chip. Maybe there is indeed a newer one available somewher else. I am pretty sure you will not find any further information in this local Hilscher forum but more in the official Raspberry Pi forums.
I agree to you that it sounds weird that a chip with the same name just with a new datasheet instantly supports a BT spec of a higher version. I could indeed just a matter of software.
Since the BT chip is empty at boot times, it needs indeed an initialization with a software package using the Linux command "hciattach". Since Hilsher uses the very same schematics as the original Raspberry PI 3B, the Hilscher device will support all BT functions that are supported just by upgrading to a higher firmware version.
