nRF52 DK Eddystone beacon registration using ECDH

[Zoptune]

Hi,

I'm using the nRF52 dev kit and try to use it as an Eddystone beacon.
More precisely I want to use Eddystone EID and I would like to register the beacon using ECDH.

So I downloaded the nRF5 SDK v15.0.0 and flashed the Eddystone example. Then I used the nRF Beacon for Eddystone Android application to configure the first slot as EID frame using ECDH.
I configured everything and then I tried to register the beacon. But after configuring the UID namespace and instance ID nothing is happening and there is no new beacon on my Google beacon dashboard.

But when I configure the slot security type to EID key instead of ECDH it works properly, the beacon is registered and I can see it on my dashboard.

Has anyone ever encountered this problem or does have an idea ?

Thank you

Hi, Thanks for reporting this, I haven't tested this lately but it should work with either keys unless google has made some api changes. You can also try with the "beacon tools" app to see if registration with ECDH works. I'll take a look at this and get back to you.

Hi and thank you for your answer.
I also tried with the "beacon tools" app but same result, it doesn't work with EID. I can't even use EID key instead of ECDH.
