using raspberry pi with nrf8002

[Nida]

can you tell me that whether raspberry pi can be used as a beacon(i.e. for scanning) ) by using USB dongle 4.0 and nrf8002 be used as transmitter in localization systems?

@Nida: Yes. You would need to have bluez package. Then you can use the command: hcitool lescan to scan for BLE advertising packet from the nRF8002.

Part of how to do it is described here.
