I am looking thru the example documentation for the Bridge example and the 100 projects in 100 days info and am confused as to which BLE module to target.

   

UART-to-BLE Bridge Using the EZ-BLE™ PRoC™ Module – KBA97015

   

http://www.cypress.com/knowledge-base-article/uart-ble-bridge-using-ez-ble-proc-module-kba97015

   

the 'supported kits' table indicates that I need to use a CY8CKIT-042CYBLE-022001-EVAL and that the CY8CKIT-042 with the PRoC BLE or the PSoC 4 BLE Modules are not supported, Yet the CYBLE-022001-EVAL EZ-BLE™ PRoC™ Evaluation Board uses a PRoC part.

   

The link: ​http://www.cypress.com/blog/100-projects-100-days/project-020-uart-ble-bridge says it uses a PSoC 4 part.

   

"The BLE Pioneer Kit with the PSoC 4 BLE module implements a BLE GAP Central device running a custom Profile and a custom UART Service. This Profile contains two custom Characteristics - one called Receive Characteristic and another called Transmit Characteristic. The Transmit Characteristic supports Notifications."

   

​What am I missing? What modules can I use for UART to bridge functionality? please provide links or part numbers so I can order the correct kit and modules.

You may want to look at the new EZ-Serial firmware as another option, which provides a BLE-to-UART bridge mode (CYSPP) in addition to many other features controllable via a serial protocol and some GPIO status/control signals:

The page linked above lists all supported modules. You can find a detailed User Guide including API reference material on that page as well.
