Description

Moving over from https://github.com/don/node-eddystone-beacon/pull/25 as I would think this would be a bleno issue

Using node-eddystone-beacons's uid/with-tlm.js example which repeatedly calls startadvertisingwitheirdata seems to work in linux.. but gives an error back every time "Command Disallowed"

hcidump

Turns out its a pi only problem, my other (arm) linux(jessie) box doesnt throw errors

Contributor guide

Research direction
Compare hcidump logs between the working and failing systems; check if the Bluetooth adapter supports the HCI command used by startAdvertisingWithEIRData, and investigate if any kernel or driver differences cause 'Command Disallowed'.
