yes. I gave it a try last year and add a hard time to dissociate the BT 
device from the backend, that can be the simulator or an external BMC. 
I will spend some more energy to figure out why the QOM layer was 
complaining.

Do we have plans for a FSP simulator ? Anyhow a hardcoded BT should not 
be a major obstacle.
