Hi everybody,
I need to send some user application configuration parameters to the nrf9160 on an nrf9160DK via the nrf52840 on the nrf9160DK. The client android application connects to a BLE device and sends data via a serial COMM port over BLE. To do this, I need to do exactly what peripheral_uart implements, but I can't get the nrf52840 to send data to the nrf9160 instead of sending it to the Segger VCOM. I see in the 9160DK schematics that there are some intersection contact points, but I can't assign the uart signals to these pins in any way. I'll let you know in advance that this is exactly what I need to do: receive data on a BLE COMM socket on the nrf52840 and send it to the nrf9160 via uart, and receive UART data from the nrf9160 and send it via BLE COMM. No other example does this and I can't change my approach because the client application I need to integrate with this solution works this way and I can't change it. I'm saying this upfront because I see a lot of open tickets (some quite old) from people who need to do exactly what I'm trying to do with peripheral_uart, but Nordic support just suggests other examples, or asks the person to change their approach, or asks why the person wants to do it this way. Well, I want to do this because I need to do this. So I need some more direct answers about whether it's possible to do what I need to do and how I can do it.
Thanks!
