Thank you very much. this is what i did. i added a specific function to Eddystone.cpp that contain the ble instruction with Manufacturer Data. and know i can see the iBeacon witg the compagny ID and UID but know i can't see the minor and major. If you have any idea. Thank you.

I understand. However, since the iBeacon and Eddystone beacons use different advertising packet structures it is not possible to just add the iBeacon payload to the Eddystone example. iBeacon uses the Advertising Specific Manufacturer Data field while Eddystone does not. You will somehow need to reconfigure the advertising packet before transmitting the iBeacon data. mBed has a tutorial on how to create a Custom GAP advertising packet.

Yes i tried the iBeacon exemple but what i want to do is to send 4 frames : URL TLM UID and iBeacon. the eddystone exemple contain URL TLM UID and i want to add a fourth frame. This is why i use the eddystone Exemple.

Did you try using the iBeacon example or are you still using the Eddystone example?

Hi Ketil,

I think the problem is when i fill rawframe of iBeacon, I still have the same problem but better than before. You can see the picture.

Hi Zakaria,

iBeacon uses a different frame format than Eddystone. Please take a look at mbed-os-example-ble-Beacon for details on how to implement iBeacon.
