How to make NRF 8001 discoverable to iPhone

[Saurabh Gulia]

I have an NRF 8001 BLE chip, can you provide the break out board schematic to make this chip discoverable to my iPhone 5 as soon as i power that break out board. And how to program that break out board i.e i want to change the firmware and want to add additional characteristic and services. How to do this? How i will connect it to pc?

Are you looking for something like this https://www.olimex.com/Products/Modules/RF/MOD-nRF8001/ you should also look at the hardware reference files for the nRF8001 at www.nordicsemi.com/.../nRF8001

Thanks for the reply!! If i order MOD-nRF8001,then its readme.txt files says it will get directly be connected with Arduino mega through pins.Will my iPhone app be able to discover it?? Secondly i did not get meaning of this line in their readme.txt file i.e "Make sure you always run the run_me_compile_xml_to_nRF8001_setup.bat with the nRFgo studio installed on a Windows PC to generate the setup required for the nRF8001 (services.h). You need to run this again whenever you change the configuration in the nRFgo studio." How will i connect the MOD-nRF8001 ble to pc? Please ans this query also.
