7 Summary

This application note describes the basic concept of Eddystone Beacon, how connectable beacon applications can be implemented on top of the existing sample application SimpleBLEPeripheral, and how the compatibility to Eddystone specification can be tested. Also, events, callbacks, and usages of hardware drivers are introduced for obtaining information to populate the TLM frame.

With a simple feature addition and modification on the sample application, connectable beacon devices such as a Eddystone-compatible beacon device can be easily developed.
