Multiactivity_beacon advertiser for nRF52 (Service and iBeacon together)

[fab]

I am trying to port the experimental_ble_app_multiactivity_beacon advertiser example to nRF52.

I have used the document 'Migrating an nRF51 BLE project to nRF52' (infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp

I have only changed the Memory Areas as follows:

• IROM1: 0x1C000/0x64000
• IRAM1: 0x20002080/0xDF80

Moreover, I have changed:

• APP_COMPANY_IDENTIFIER to 0x004C
• BEACON_UUID, BEACON_MAJOR, BEACON_MINOR as per my needs.

(I did exactly the same with ble_app_beacon which worked as expected).

All the services are properly advertised and I am able to connect to them, but unfortunately the iBeacon is not detected by my iOS device.

I have also tried the timeslot variation, but I am not able to compile because of this error:

cannot open source input file "ble_stack_handler_types.h": No such file or directory

Can anyone help me with this or point me to a working sample of a BLS service together with iBeacon?

Tks

@Fab: I see no problem with the project you sent. After I connected, the device advertise as a beacon as show below:

The only modification I need to add is to add to main.c :

err_code = NRF_LOG_INIT();
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

As it's not included by default, it's a bug.

Unfortunately, I am not still able to make it working.

1. when I added the NRF_LOG_INIT the executable is too big:

error: L6047U: The size of this image (33368 bytes) exceeds the maximum allowed for this version of the linker

2. Assuming that the problem were related to the RTT, I removed the following files:

• RTT_Syscalls_KEIL.c
• SEGGER_RTT.c
• SEGGER_RTT_printf.c

but nothing changes: my iOS app doesn't recognize the iBeacon and nRF Connect shows exactly the same information as before. I am not able to make a test with MCP for 2 or 3 days, because I am using Windows in virtualbox and MCP doesn't connect.

What I actually need is an app which acts as an iBeacon and provides a services (with at least one characteristic) at the same time. Can you point me to any other working example which I can test on the DK-52?
