Can anyone tell me how to connect NRF 8001 with Arduino mega 2560. I have developed an iPhone application and just want to connect with NRF 8001.Please tell me how to connect NRF 8001 with Arduino mega 2560 and make the BLE chip discoverable?

You can use the Bluetooth low energy shield with the Arduino mega 2560 and use the Bluetooth low energy SDK for Arduino that is available here
Edit: Use the ble_uart_project_template to get started with the nRF UART iOS app.
When starting with your own design I suggest that you look at the BLEduino schematics github.com/.../bleduino-hardware , you can use only the parts for the nRF8001 and ATmega328 and remove the ATmega32u4. You should be able to replace the ATmega328 with the ATMega used for the Arduino mega. Remember to remove the level converters if you want a real low power design and make sure your design can run at 3.3v.

Yes, i had BLE shield that is developed by Red Bear Labs. And i had successfully connected it with my iPhone app. But now i want to make my own, Red bear labs is also using NRF 8001 BLE chip. Please tell me which pins are to be used to connect NRF 8001 with Arduino mega or please provide the schematics to connect BLE with Arduino Mega. And then how to program NRF 8001 with Arduino IDE. Please help??
See updated with edits.
Yes i had already gone through this schematic, what exactly is the use of ATmega32u4. And you are saying i should remove this? And in this schematic they have connected BALUN Antenna, is it necessary to connect? And values of L1, C8 and C15 are not given in this schematic. what will be the values of these components, i should know these if i give this schematic to manufacture. Please tell me the values of this or provide the schematic which have all the values. It will be a great help, will really appreciate this.
Hi Saurabh,
Regarding L1, C8 and C15 value, they belong to the PI tuning network and their values are to be calculated when tuning the antenna using a network analyzer. You can refer to our white papter nWP17 http://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/nordic/download_resource/20347/2/18867584 for more detail on antenna tuning.
