Hi,

Yes, a BLE connection is between a "central" and a "peripheral". They are so named because a typical scenario is that you have a smartphone (central) that connects to a number of sensor devices (peripherals) such as heart rate monitors, temperature sensors, etc.

I suggest having a look at our tutorials here on DevZone, in particular the ones under Getting Started and the Bluetooth low energy ones. While the SDK versions used are a couple of years old they are still good resources for getting the basic concepts.

Another good starting point is the Getting Started section of the SDK documentation.

For "UART" communication over BLE you can have a look at the UART/Serial Port Emulation over BLE (for peripheral) and Nordic UART Service Client (for central) examples.

Terje
