Research direction

Start by reading issue #20 and reviewing the existing firmware.bin and advertisement-key process described there. Determine the app entry point for this workflow; done means the app can patch the Aliexpress nRF51822 firmware and dump the result for manual flashing.

Description

enhancement

From reading #20 it seems I could use this on the Aliexpress nRF51822 beacon chips by simply taking the existing firmware.bin and replacing the string with the advertisement key.

Could this process be added to the app which could then just dump the patched firmware somewhere to manually flash?
I'm still awaiting my ST-link v2 to arrive for the actual flashing process so haven't tested things yet but the form factor of the nRF51822 chips is perfect for this application.
