BlueNRG-MS Beacon demonstration application

The software development kit contains another example, which shows how to configure a

BlueNRG-MS device to advertise specific manufacturing data and allow another BLE device

to know if it is in the range of the BlueNRG-MS beacon device.

7.1

Supported platforms

The BlueNRG-MS Beacon demo is supported by the BlueNRG-MS development platform

(STEVAL-IDB005V1).

7.2

BLE Beacon application setup

This section describes how to configure a BlueNRG-MS device for acting as a beacon

device.

7.2.1

Initialization

The BlueNRG-MS stack must be correctly initialized as follows:

– ACI_GATT_INIT

– ACI_GAP_INIT(Role=0x01): peripheral

7.2.2

Define advertising data

The BLE Beacon application advertises the following manufacturing data:
