1. Example description¶
Simple example showing how to implement an iBeacon on the DA14531, DA14585/586. All beacon payload parameters (advertising interval, UUID etc.) are easily configurable from within the user application (user_app.c).
The example is configured to use a random static Bluetooth Device address (BD address). This is generated upon power on or reset and will remain static throughout the life of the device. It is also guaranteed to be unique on each DA14531 or DA14585/586 device (i.e. a different BD address will be generated on each DA14531 or DA14585/586 on which this is example is run).
By default the output power is set to 0dBm. This can be increased to +2.5dBm (only for the DA14531) by defining the
macro TX_POWER_2d5Bm (see the macro definitions at the start of the user_app.c file).

2. HW and SW configuration¶
Hardware configuration
This example runs on the DA14531 or DA14585/DA14586 Bluetooth Smart SoC device.
For running the example on DA14531, a USB Kit or PRO Development kit along with a DA14531 Daughter Board is needed.
For running the example on DA14585/586, a PRO Development kit along with a DA14585 or a DA14586 Daughter Board is needed.
Software configuration
This example requires:
Smartsnippets Studio 2.0.10 (or later)
SDK6.0.14 (or later)
SEGGER’s J-Link tools should be downloaded and installed.
3. How to run the example¶
For initial setup of the example please refer to this section of the dialog support portal.
3.1. Initial Setup¶
Build and download the example using the Keil IDE.
Run the example using the Keil debugger.
Use a Smart Device running an App such as Locate to view the beacons transmitted by the device.
4. Known Limitations¶
