How to use beacon on 51822 ?

[cadillacxlr]

Hello everyone, here I have a problem when I learn to use beacon on 51822. The steps as below:

1. I have a 51822 board, it can boardcast normally, and communication OK in BLE;
2. I open the example project, the path is

nRF51_SDK_10.0.0_dc26b5e\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_beacon\pca10028\s110\arm5_no_packs\ble_app_beacon_s110_pca10028.uvprojx

3. Download into 51822 through J-Link, and run.

But I can't receive the beacon signal on my Android phone. (The phone can receive the beacon signal transmitted from the iPhone, by the virtual iBeacon APP)

What mistakes I made ,and How to use beacon on 51822 ? Thanks!

So what code did you run on your nRF51 board to start with?

If your device seemingly doesn't advertise it is often because you have a bug in your code causing it to reset or enter an endless while loop. You can debug it like this.

What kind of board do you use?

Is this the beacon you have? https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/Products/Bluetooth-low-energy/nRF51822-Bluetooth-Smart-Beacon-Kit/(language)/eng-GB

Did you remember to program the Softdevice as well as the application to your beacon? Try to program this file to your beacon:

SDK_10.0.0_folder\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_beacon\hex\ble_app_beacon_s130_pca10028.hex

It includes both the softdevice and the application.

Sorry I can't download the file, I have no "product key". 

And I have another question, is the nRF Beacon could wake up the iPhone like the iBeacon?

Can you confirm that you are using the beacon kit in my link above?

In your initial post you say that you:

use beacon on 51822

In your next comment you talk about:

the board is PCA10040, which MCU is nRF52832

Which is it?

To wake up an iPhone using a beacon you will need to implement an iBeacon. iBeacon specifications can be found here:
