Answer

While the legacy BT510 firmware, which currently ships on the BT510 sensor, does not support Eddystone Beacons, it is possible to flash our Canvas Software Suite firmware to the BT510 to enable custom application development. (https://www.ezurio.com/canvas/software-suite).

To program the Canvas firmware to the sensor you would need to use our USB-SWD programmer (https://www.ezurio.com/wireless-modules/programming-kits/usb-swd-programming-kit).

Once the Canvas Firmware is flashed, the device can be custom programmed using Python Scripting as outlined in our Canvas Python API documentation (https://lairdcp.github.io/canvas_python_docs).

We also have a library of sample Python applications, including several Beacon applications. (https://github.com/Ezurio/canvas_python_samples/tree/main/modules/Beacons).

Our Canvas firmware also supports over the air firmware and application updates, once it has been initially programmed to the sensors, using the Canvas Hub Applet in our XBit Product Evaluation tool , which is available for Desktop, Android and iOS devices.
