Connecting Edison with Android using BLE on edison

[rishigb]

Hey Adrian, the example you have written uses the BLE module from grove, what I am really interested in is connecting Android/iphone devices to the intel edison using it's own BLE. I know there is one, but I haven't been able to find out how to use it and connect it to devices for data communication. Not a lot of experiments around that, no official examples/release codes either.Could you help me work that out?
Thanks!

I'm actually just in the process of putting together a sample for this. I think the quickest way to use the built in Bluetooth adapter is to expose a custom service - I'm just experimenting right now using bleno - https://github.com/sandeepmistry/bleno
