I am facing problem in experimentally testing the Proximity Profile!

[Rohit Warrier]

I have a CC2540 and CC2541 chip with me. I did figure out that both of them are working, but now I am stuck up at how to practically test if the proximity profile is working! For a matter of fact I think both of these chips do have a proximity profile in it!

Any help would be really great!

Thanks in advance.

The proximity profile is implemented on our Android and iOS apps, there is also an example for the proximity implementation on our evaluation and development boards (nRF51-EK/DK) .You also get the source code for the iOS and Android apps when you purchase our evaluation kit. In addition you get the nRF Sniffer by which you can view your BTLE packets for learning and debugging.

To test a proximity implementation, you can use the Nordic iOS and Android apps (nRF Proximity/nRF Toolbox), this should give you the required confidence that the proximity application works as expected.

Thanks a ton for the help. I am willing to buy your evaluation kit, but I wasnt able to find the purchase link on your website. Could you please help me out with it?

Thanks in advance.

You can purchase Nordic products from these online stores.

Thanks a lot for the help! As suggested by you, I did go online and had a look at your evaluation boards, but there are nRF51822-EK, nRF51EK422-EK, nRF51422-DK chips. Kindly suggest which one would work the best for proximity profile experiments! Thanks in advance.

If you only need BLE, buy nRF51822, if you may be using ANT, but nRF51422, see this question for more info.

This question explains the difference between EK and DK.
