For Eddystone-UID and Eddystone-URL, you can use:

  • Any hardware based on a Bluetooth 4.0 chip. Manufacturers include Nordic, TI, and Blue Giga make modules and systems on a chip, but you will need tooling from them to develop firmware.

  • An Android 6.0+ device that supports BLE advertising. Code is written in Java.

  • Any Linux computer including a Raspberry Pi that supports the BlueZ stack and has a Bluetooth 4.0+ device.

You cannot use:

  • An iOS device. The operating system prevents advertising
