Hi,
When the UART is configured to use FIFO , i use the UNUSED_VARIABLE(app_uart_get(rxdata));
to read a buffer from FIFO.
how can i also receive a number of bytes it is get and not just a pointer ?
Thanks.

Hi Max,
app_uart_get() only get one byte from the FIFO and put to the pointer (rx_data). You need to call that again to get more bytes until you get NRF_ERROR_NOT_FOUND. Please see the documentation:
/**@brief Function for getting a byte from the UART.
*
* @details This function will get the next byte from the RX buffer. If the RX buffer is empty
* an error code will be returned and the app_uart module will generate an event upon
* reception of the first byte which is added to the RX buffer.
*
* @param[out] p_byte Pointer to an address where next byte received on the UART will be copied.
*
* @retval NRF_SUCCESS If a byte has been received and pushed to the pointer provided.
* @retval NRF_ERROR_NOT_FOUND If no byte is available in the RX buffer of the app_uart module.

uint32_t app_uart_get(uint8_t * p_byte);
