iBeacon
Overview
This simple application demonstrates the GAP Broadcaster role
functionality by advertising an Apple iBeacon. The calibrated RSSI @ 1
meter distance can be set using an IBEACON_RSSI build variable
(e.g. IBEACON_RSSI=0xb8 for -72 dBm RSSI @ 1 meter), or by manually
editing the default value in the main.c file.
Because of the hard-coded values of iBeacon UUID, major, and minor, the application is not suitable for production use, but is quite convenient for quick demonstrations of iBeacon functionality.
Requirements
A board with Bluetooth LE support, or
QEMU with BlueZ running on the host
Building and Running
See Bluetooth samples for details on how to run the sample inside QEMU.
For other boards, build and flash the application as follows:
west build -b <board> samples/bluetooth/ibeacon
west flash
Refer to your board’s documentation for alternative
flash instructions if your board doesn’t support the flash target.
