Why ble_app_beacon is absent in SDK4.4.X

[Parvi]

Hi, can anyone tell me why ble_beacon_app code doesn't exist in SDK4.4.x examples folder , or from where can i get it ?

Because 4.4.x dates back to 2013 which was just around the time Apple announced the whole iBeacon effort, so it doesn't exist because it wasn't written back then.

Take a version from a later SDK and back-port it, the code's very simple. I assume you are using rev 1 chips and have to use the really old SDKs. If not, use a newer SDK.

Hi, RK. I have a similar question. Does it mean the 1st generation chips can just use the nRF51822-BK-FW? I think it's time now to make the nRF51822-BK-FW public because all the newer SDK has the iBeacon example. By the way, the SDK 4.4.2 is the newest SDK for the 1st generation chips.
