Mesh Beacon Example

[Adam]

I have the nRF5 Mesh SDK "beaconing" demo compiled and running on my nRF52-DK.  Is there a way to setup the beacon to be an iBeacon, so that it broadcasts a UUID, Major, Minor?  If so, is there any example code you could share that uses the Mesh SDK to accomplish this?

You should in general check out Apple on iBeacon specifications: https://developer.apple.com/ibeacon/ 

You can find in the SDK an example that show how to setup a beacon in general:

Hi Kenneth,

Thanks for your help.  I added the demo code in the example you provided in the link above to the "beaconing" demo that's part of the Mesh SDK.  Everything compiles, but I'm still getting an error during linking.  I've attached a screen shot of the error.  Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Seems you have a (left-over?) api call to the board support package (bsp module) in your code. You can comment out or remove all instances of bsp* if you don't plan to use it. In general you can read more about bsp here:
