If you are looking for a book, maybe you can try "Bluetooth Low Energy : The Developer's Handbook" by Robin Heydon.

We have a youtube tutorial here and some tutorial examples here. They are pretty old but should be usable (you may need to download the correspondent SDK)

I have a blog here that explain the BLE spec and our stack, might be useful for you.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I would consider the first option in order to have the change/update advertising data feature. Your explanation is usefully however as I'm new in BLE, the documentation related to the stack is a pain in the ass for me. I need to document myself on the topic first before going deeper in the SDK documentation. So if you have any recommandation about a book or a web site helping me in the understanding of the BLE stack in a simple and efficient way, I would be grateful to you.

Thanks in advance,

Florian

Hi,

I don't see a problem doing that. The Eddystone project uses a timer to change/update advertising data (adv_timing_callback() ). You need to modify the eddystone module so that it can switch between the Eddystone data and the iBeacon data.

If you want something simpler, you can start with ble_app_beacon. But it won't bring you the option to do connectable advertising for parameter update.

Forget the request regarding the source code of "nRF Beacon for Eddystone", I've found it. It referenced in the SDK documentation.
