RE: Can I change the clock frequency on-the-fly given a UART command?

You cannot change the system clock frequency at all on the nRF52. The system is running on 64 MHz and the peripherals at 16MHz. There is no way to change that.

If you are talking about changing the UART baud rate on the other hand, it is no problem to change it on-the-fly. Just close the UART, reconfigure it, and initialize it again with new settings.

nrf_drv_uart_rx() is used to receive data over wired UART. I.e. data received on the GPIO pins on the chip. When you receive data over BLE it is processed in the function nus_data_handler() in main.c. You can see that the incoming data is printed to the wired UART by calling app_uart_put(). You can do whatever you want with the data in the function.

PS:

"nrf_drv_" signifies that the function belongs to a hardware module driver.
"app_" signifies that the function belongs to a library.
