UART

[Nils Minor]

Hi,

is there any Example to use the UART ? I need an monitor while the application is running, is the UART COM Port the right one for this?

Is there an example with the app_uart?

Best regards Nils

I need also help to send printf outputs via UART to a serial terminal.

I am also working on Eclipse + GCC environment and using Evaluation Kit and my BLE application uses S110_SoftDevice.

questions are:

• Which uart- support files from Nordic S. SDK are to add to the build?
• How to connect (printf -- putc)?
• Which way make more sense? Using either USB (COMx) or other GPIOs as UART output?

You just need to add simple_uart.c to your project and include simple_uart.h headers.

I generally use:

simple_uart_putstring("Some text\r\n");

To send my debugging output.

If you're using the nRF51822-EK, configure the onboard USB UART with:

simple_uart_config (0, 9, 0, 11, false):

And set your baud rate on your terminal program to 38.4K and find the USB CDC serial port that should appear.

I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't even clue-in to the onboard CDC emulation at first :-/

Hope that helps.
