| <p>A beaconing device announces its presence to the world by broadcasting |
| advertisements. The iBeacon protocol is built on top of the standard BLE |
| advertisement specification. <a class="reference external" href="http://www.warski.org/blog/2014/01/how-ibeacons-work/">This |

| <h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id2">Create an Empty BLE Application</a><a class="headerlink" href="#create-an-empty-ble-application" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2> |
| <p>This tutorial picks up where the <span class="xref std std-doc">BLE bare bones application |
| tutorial</span> document concludes. |
| The first step in creating a beaconing device is to create an empty BLE |
| app, as explained in that tutorial. Before proceeding, you should have:</p> |
| <ul class="simple"> |
| <li><p>An app called “ble_app”.</p></li> |
| <li><p>A target called “ble_tgt”.</p></li> |
| <li><p>Successfully executed the app on your target device.</p></li> |
| </ul> |
| </div> |
| <div class="section" id="add-beaconing"> |
| <h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id3">Add beaconing</a><a class="headerlink" href="#add-beaconing" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2> |
| <p>Here is a brief specification of how we want our beaconing app to |
| behave:</p> |
| <ol class="arabic simple"> |
| <li><p>Wait until the host and controller are in sync.</p></li> |
| <li><p>Configure the NimBLE stack with an address to put in its |
| advertisements.</p></li> |
| <li><p>Advertise indefinitely.</p></li> |
| </ol> |
| <p>Let’s take these one at a time.</p> |
| <div class="section" id="wait-for-host-controller-sync"> |
| <h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id4">1. Wait for host-controller sync</a><a class="headerlink" href="#wait-for-host-controller-sync" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3> |
| <p>The first step, waiting for host-controller-sync, is mandatory in all |
| BLE applications. The NimBLE stack is inoperable while the two |
| components are out of sync. In a combined host-controller app, the sync |
| happens immediately at startup. When the host and controller are |
| separate, sync typically occurs in less than a second.</p> |
| <p>We achieve this by configuring the NimBLE host with a callback function |
| that gets called when sync takes place:</p> |
| <div class="highlight-console notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="hll"><span class="go">static</span> |
| </span><span class="hll"><span class="go">void ble_app_set_addr()</span> |

| </pre></div> |
| </div> |
| <p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ble_hs_cfg.sync_cb</span></code> points to the function that should be called when |
| sync occurs. Our callback function, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ble_app_on_sync()</span></code>, kicks off the |
| control flow that we specified above. Now we need to fill in the two |
| stub functions.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="section" id="configure-the-nimble-stack-with-an-address"> |
| <h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id5">2. Configure the NimBLE stack with an address</a><a class="headerlink" href="#configure-the-nimble-stack-with-an-address" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3> |
| <p>A BLE device needs an address to do just about anything. Some devices |
| have a public Bluetooth address burned into them, but this is not always |
| the case. Furthermore, the NimBLE controller might not know how to read |
| an address out of your particular hardware. For a beaconing device, we |
| generally don’t care what address gets used since nothing will be |
| connecting to us.</p> |
| <p>A reliable solution is to generate a <em>non-resolvable private address</em> |
| (nRPA) each time the application runs. Such an address contains no |
| identifying information, and they are expected to change frequently.</p> |

| <li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ble_hs_id_set_rnd</span></code>: Configure NimBLE to use the newly-generated address.</p></li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>You can click either of the function names for more detailed |
| documentation.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="section" id="advertise-indefinitely"> |
| <h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id6">3. Advertise indefinitely</a><a class="headerlink" href="#advertise-indefinitely" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3> |
| <p>The first step in advertising is to configure the host with advertising |
| data. This operation tells the host what data to use for the contents of |
| its advertisements. The NimBLE host provides a special helper function |
| for configuring iBeacon advertisement data: |
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ble_ibeacon_set_adv_data</span></code></p> |
| <p>If you follow the API link, you’ll see that this function takes four |
| parameters: a 128-bit UUID, a major version,a minor version, and a RSSI value. This |
| corresponds with the iBeacon specification, as these three items are the |
| primary components in an iBeacon advertisement.</p> |
| <p>For now, we’ll advertise the following:</p> |
| <ul class="simple"> |
| <li><p><em>UUID</em>: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11</span></code></p></li> |

| <p>Now that the host knows what to advertise, the next step is to actually |
| begin advertising. The function to initiate advertising is: |
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ble_gap_adv_start</span></code>. |
| This function takes several parameters. For simplicity, we reproduce the |
| function prototype here:</p> |
| <div class="highlight-c notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kt">int</span> |
| <span class="n">ble_gap_adv_start</span><span class="p">(</span> |

| <span class="p">)</span> |
| </pre></div> |
| </div> |
| <p>This function gives an application quite a bit of freedom in how |
| advertising is to be done. The default values are mostly fine for our |
| simple beaconing application. We will pass the following values to this |
| function:</p> |
| <table class="docutils align-default"> |
| <colgroup> |
| <col style="width: 28%" /> |
| <col style="width: 39%" /> |
| <col style="width: 33%" /> |

| </thead> |

| <tr class="row-even"><td><p>own_addr_type</p></td> |

| <td><p>We are |
| broadcasting, not |
| targeting a peer.</p></td> |

| <tr class="row-even"><td><p>duration_ms</p></td> |
| <td><p>BLE_HS_FOREVER</p></td> |

| </tr> |
| <tr class="row-odd"><td><p>adv_params</p></td> |

| <tr class="row-even"><td><p>cb</p></td> |
| <td><p>NULL</p></td> |
| <td><p>We are |

| </tr> |
| <tr class="row-odd"><td><p>cb_arg</p></td> |
| <td><p>NULL</p></td> |
| <td><p>No callback |

| </tr> |
| </tbody> |
| </table> |
| <p>These arguments are mostly self-explanatory. The exception is |
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">adv_params</span></code>, which can be used to specify a number of low-level |
| parameters. For a beaconing application, the default settings are |
| appropriate. We specify default settings by providing a zero-filled |
| instance of the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ble_gap_adv_params</span></code> struct as our argument.</p> |
