nRF51X22: BLE and Beacon at the same time?

[lnBetween]

Can the nRF51X22 be paired with an iPhone to communicate (both ways) using regular BLE and emit a beacon signal at the same time? In fact, I'm looking to change the beacon Major/Minor values on the fly using the synced BLE connection with the iPhone. Is this doable?

Yes, it is possible. I have done it by modifying and including advertiser_beacon.c into my projects. I use regular connectable advertisement and advertiser_beacon.c uses the timeslot api to build BLE advertising packets.

Changing data is on the fly, I do it in my application.

Keep in mind you will need a softdevice/SDK that supports the timeslot API.
