UART and Logger

[Jim Logsdon]

I want to use the UART to receive data, but that doesn't look possible if I use the Logging Module.   I don't see where the logger module will interrupt my code to tell me I've received a character.

So must I disable the Logger to gain full interrupt control of the UART?

I'm not having success make the esb_ptx sample use the RTT instead of the UART.  I've pasted the configuration you recommended into prj.conf as you recommended:

# Copyright (c) 2019 Nordic Semiconductor ASA

CONFIG_NCS_SAMPLES_DEFAULTS=y

CONFIG_ESB=y

CONFIG_DK_LIBRARY=y

CONFIG_CLOCK_CONTROL=y

CONFIG_USE_SEGGER_RTT=y

CONFIG_LOG=y

CONFIG_LOG_BACKEND_RTT=y

CONFIG_LOG_BACKEND_UART=n

The esb_ptx application still writes out the uart and not the RTT.   

I get the following problems reported:

Any idea why it's not working?

Hi James,

Could you try adding the following as well:

CONFIG_RTT_CONSOLE=y

CONFIG_UART_CONSOLE=n

CONFIG_LOG_MODE_IMMEDIATE=y

CONFIG_LOG_PRINTK=y

 Ensure you're using the correct tool to view RTT output. The standard UART terminal won't show RTT logs. You need to use a tool like SEGGER's RTT Viewer or J-Link RTT Viewer or the RTT Console in nRF Connect for VS Code to see the RTT output.
