Multiple UARTs on nRF5340

chris_h

Hi, I wonder if I can get some assistance on an issue I'm having implementing multiple UARTs on my nRF5340 (using the nRF7002DK)?

The Product Specification notes the nRF5340 supports 4 UART's.  I would like to use uart0 for logging, and then uart1 and uart2 as additional UARTs.  I have altered the devicetree to enable all 3 uarts and repurpose DK pins for their use.  What I am struggling with is how to configure this in the prj.conf file. I have already got UART1 working.  The project compiles and the UART messages work as intended on the assigned pins.  I used the following configuration for it to function:

CONFIG_UART_ASYNC_API=y
CONFIG_UART_1_ASYNC=y
CONFIG_UART_1_INTERRUPT_DRIVEN=n
CONFIG_UART_1_NRF_HW_ASYNC=y
CONFIG_UART_1_NRF_HW_ASYNC_TIMER=2
CONFIG_NRFX_TIMER2=y
CONFIG_RESET_ON_FATAL_ERROR=n

However if I add corresponding UART_2 configs, my compiler flags a warning "CONFIG_UART_2_ASYNC was assigned the value y, but got the value n. Missing dependencies: UART_2_NRF_UARTE".  So the below configs do not work

CONFIG_UART_2_ASYNC=y
CONFIG_UART_2_INTERRUPT_DRIVEN=n
CONFIG_UART_2_NRF_HW_ASYNC=y
CONFIG_UART_2_NRF_HW_ASYNC_TIMER=2

Can you please help me find where I am going wrong?  What would be the correct way to enable the uart2?

    Hi,

    You're using nRF Connect SDK v.2.5.0 right?

    Could you share your project config and devicetree, overlay too if you use it.

    regards

    Hi Jared,

    Thank you for responding.  Yes I am using nRF Connect SDK 2.5.0.  I've attached the requested files. 

    Just for clarity on what I'm trying to achieve with the UART's:

    • UART0: Debug/logging. Enabled for development, disabled for production
    • UART1: Standard UART for comms with another MCU
    • UART2: Standard UART for comms with a different MCU

    I am able to use both UART0 and UART1 successfully using the custom selected DK pins. I am just unsure of how to set up UART2 so it doesn't flag warnings of missing configuration parameters.  Those config parameters are under the comment "# UART2" in the prj.conf file

    3223.prj.conf

    4380.nrf7002dk_nrf5340_cpuapp.overlay

    Regards,

    Chris

    Hi Chris

    Jared is currently unavailable, and I will help you out in the mean time. 

    Where exactly do yo see these warnings? 

    I tried to apply your configuration to one of the standard Wi-Fi samples, and while I see some warnings in the editor when reviewing the prj.conf file I don't see any warnings in the build output. 

    In the editor I see complaints regarding HAS_HW_NRF_UARTE1 and HAS_HW_NRF_UARTE2 missing, but double checking the .config file in the build/zephyr folder I can see that both of these configurations are included. 

    Is this the same issue you are seeing, or is it something else? 

    Best regards
