nRF51822 as peripheral to central iPhone iOS app AND central to i2c chipset peripherals

[brigidrose]

Hi Everyone,

I have what I hope is a simple questions. I am creating a piece of hardware that will act as the peripheral to a central iOS app in regards to a standard BLE communication. This same nRF51822 will then need to act as the central i2c eeprom chipsets in an i2c databus inside of the hardware.

In short: App (central) -> nRF51822 (peripheral) -> nRF51822 (central) -> i2c eeprom (peripherals)

Is this possible? If yes, does creating the distinction of central/peripheral from moment to moment simply live in the way the chipset is programed? If no, why will this not work and do you have any suggestions for how to make a set up like this work utilizing different tools and/or data transfer protocol.

Thank you so much for any help you are able to provide!

@brigidrose: I see no problem with this set up. Please be aware that, the central/peripheral role on BLE communication has no thing to do with the master/slave role on the i2c communication.

They are independent.
