Eddystone for Bluetooth 5.0 #217

Open atrishabh opened 7 years ago

Hi,

Can Eddystone run on nRF52840? Its running quite well on nRF52832. Need some URLs to be pushed through BLE 5.0. Right now I can't find the right files for the 840 chip.

I am assuming you want to put larger URL's in the advertising packet. If so, make sure you test that the large installed base of BT4.X phone and tablets will be able to receive those longer advertising packets.

@pzboyz Hi, I was thinking if we can use long range feature of Bluetooth 5, that would really give some aspects as well. I would try the larger advertisements as well. Thank you for the response.
