what values should be assigned to ble_advertising_init_t for iBeacon application?

[srony]

Hi, I am developing a SDK 17.0.0 based iBeacon application, and I see BLE library available for advertising.

I went through the ble_advertising_init API and found the parameter p_init seems to be only for connectable devices.

Can I use it for non-connectable iBeacon device? How to use it?

uint32_t ble_advertising_init	(	ble_advertising_t *const	p_advertising,
		ble_advertising_init_t const *const	p_init
	)

Thanks in advance,

srony

Hi,

I do not recommend using the advertising module when making something as simple as an iBeacon. Instead just use SoftDevices API's directly. The SDK already has a beacon example which is essentially an iBeacon (you just need to change the company identifier), so I suggest you just use that.

 I just want to confirm it. Thanks for your prompt response!
