As part of my summer placement, I've been introduced to some non-connectable Ble tags. These are effectively beacons - advertising and transmitting data every 250ms. Now, this is where I'm less clear: I am something of a bluetooth newbie as it were, but I know for sure they're transmitting more than just the address and name of the device (as displayed in hcidump when running hcitool lescan). I know this because the data is picked up on an iPhone app I have lying around. My question is, how would I read data from a connectionless Ble broadcaster? I was originally looking for some kind of observer-broadcaster api and in fact found patches on this list regarding it, and even an orphaned branch at http://gitorious.org/~jdelfes/bluez/jdelfes-bluez/commits/bo-new, but those APIs don't seem to have made it into the official repository. Do you know which part of the API I should start looking, or in which one of the provided tools? Sorry for any kind of trouble I may be causing.
