in case of wifi soc as bridge how wifi soc and ble device connects to each other.

in this case wifi soc is in central role?

    Hey Kiran,

    Whatever your bridge is will need to support both WiFi and BLE. There is not one SoC that I'm aware that supports BLE + WIFI. In order to get the functionality of both there are a few possibilities. This could be a WiFi SoC like http://www.ti.com/product/cc3200 with an external CC254x. It could even be an MCU with both an external CC254x and external CC3000. TI also has solutions like WiLink8 http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/WL18xx which will require an external host processor like the AM335x. You really need to determine the requirements of your system to narrow down your solution.

    In the meantime, the easiest bridge to develop on is probably just using your phone. You could also use your laptop as a bridge with the BLE Dongle (http://www.ti.com/tool/cc2540emk-usb) supporting the BLE link but this would probably have a greater degree of difficulty.

    The bridge will more than likely be the central device but that again is dependent on the requirements of your system.
