Then we know atleast that you have the right boardfiles. Does basic UART samples work as well? I assume the issue is related to something related to configuration. The devacademy course on UART might be a good resource for this.

Yes

I see. Are you able to get simple samples to work on this Xiao NRF52840?

Just to clarify I made first version as simple POC in arduino IDE but right I struggle with rewroting it to Zephyr with Nordic SDK. Changing baud rate didn't help

Hi,

Not sure if I am understanding you correctly here, though we mainly support the official west/NCS toolchain here. I see that the Xiao NRF52840 is supposed to also support arduino, though this is something that we wont't be able to support well here on devzone. Although if you are using prj.conf files and dts files, I guess you are not really using the arduino toolchain?

The response below looks to be from some bot which I was just about to delete, but it might be something to suggestion of making sure the baudrates are right.
