I am able to connect see the buetooth NRf51822 ek on windows, iphone, but not mac, when I installed the ble_app_hrs app s110 8 on the ek board. Any idea?

The old MAC does not have BLE chip, only newer ones have.

Well. I bought my mac last month in apple store, and checked it has Bluetooth 4.3.

Does CoreBluetooth power up OK ? Any error condition ? If your MAC supports BLE then CoreBluetooth should work.

I don't know how to check it. I just compile the built-in sample ble_app_hrs. Android, iphone, and Windows can detect the broadcasting, but NOT the mac.

Do you have an app that runs on MAC ? You need to get an App for OS X or write your own using CoreBluetooth API.
