I recently read about "Google certified Eddystone beacon partners".
How does one get certified? is there any criteria, test, beacon deployment?
Here is the link for the same: https://developers.google.com/beacons/eddystone#certified_beacon_partners
Any information will be appriciated. Thank you

I have bought three bluecats and three kontakt.io beacons and I'm wondering if i can use the com.distriqt.Beacon ANE for my application development ?
Thanks
The distriqt Beacon ANE supports any beacon adhering to Apple's iBeacon standard.
Both bluecats and kontakt beacons can be formatted to the iBeacon standard so you should be able to use them with this ANE.
I have two beacons which support eddystone. One of them broadcasts only EID-frame, and another beacon broadcasts only UID-frame.
I see only UID-frame beacon on beacon tools app and i can register uid-frame to google proximity api via beacon tools app.
But i can't register eid-frame beacon.
Because Even if i see the eid-frame beacon by other apps or altbeacon library, beacon tools app doesn't show eid-frame beacon.
I want to register eid-frame beacon to google proximity api.
How can i register EID-frame beacon with beacon tools app? or something else?
To be able to see and register your Eddystone EID beacon in Beacon Tools app, you need to have the same service ECDH key (you can find more details here).
But if you want just scan for the nearby Eddystone EID beacons, you can use some SDKs that has EID support, like this.
Hope, it helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions!
In addition, if you want to scan for nearby Eddystone EID beacons, you can also use a 3-rd party app like this one.
They gave me a couple of ibeacons(nRF51822 of nordic) Chinese and an apk to configure them but I do not find a firmware to install it, I want to change them to eddystone beacons, I tried in many ways but I have not had success, check the documentation to eddystone, nordic, etc. Please help me, I'm a 20 year old boy and I love programming a lot but I'm desperate
Nordic provides Beacon Kit based on this chip as a reference design. That includes hardware design as well as firmware you can download and use.
Every time I try to register the beacon on the google beacon tools app on andriod I add the location but it does not seem to let me register it, The register beacon text is greyed out. Is there any way to register the beacon?
I suspect that you are trying to register an Eddystone-URL (or maybe Eddystone-EID) beacon. The Beacon Tools App will only let you register iBeacon or Eddystone-UID beacons. It will detect some other types of beacon broadcasts, but only supports these two frame types. I have seen this in the Beacon Tools App, that when I detect an Eddystone-URL broadcast, I can touch on it, but "Register Beacon" is greyed out.
Here you can see that Google says to use Eddystone-UID (or EID, but that setup is more complicated). And here they say that iBeacon is also supported for Nearby Notifications.
It may be you have already register that beacon to other project.
If not, then create one project on Google API Console.
And select your project on Beacon Tools App and then proceed.
Your beacon must be configured as Eddystone. otherwise Beacon Tools App will not detect.
try it
As #David said, if you used Eddystone URL, the register option on beacon tools would be greyed out.
But only enabling Eddystone UID would not work for me either, because beacon tools would not recognize my beacon at all. What I did to make this work was to enable both iBeacon and Eddystone UID during configuration.
After you register your beacon on beacon tools, you need to refresh the "registered" list to see it appears there. Or go to the Google developer dashboard of your project.
I am looking into integrating MythTV with Google TV; I would like to have the same level of integration found with dish network dvr (ability to set things to record from Google TV and look-up recordings).
Is there any api that can be used for that or this is only something that google - dish can do via their partnership ?
The API your looking for will be released as part of our next major software release. Please watch Getting Your Content on Google TV for more information.
