+# BLE Log Functional Test
+
+| Supported Targets |
+| ----------------- |
+
+This test app verifies the BLE Log runtime behaviour on target, using the
+in-memory test peripheral (`CONFIG_BLE_LOG_PRPH_TEST=y`) to capture the
+transport stream written by the runtime task hook.
+
+Currently covered:
+
+- `BLE_LOG_INT_SRC_VERSION_INFO` frame: BLE Log version, ESP-IDF build commit,
+  controller lib commit, btdm_common lib commit, BLE Mesh and BLE Audio lib
+  commits, chip model and chip revision
