nrf52 DK: UART problems

Hello,

I integrated the relevant code from the "uart" example into the "ble_app_uart" example(this is all the code in the main routine):

uint8_t cr;        
uart_init();
	printf("\r\nUART Start!\r\n");

  while (true){
		        
    while (app_uart_get(&cr) != NRF_SUCCESS);
    while (app_uart_put(cr) != NRF_SUCCESS);

    if (cr == 'q' || cr == 'Q')
    {
        printf(" \r\nExit!\r\n");

        while (true)
        {
            // Do nothing.
        }
    }
}

Now have the problem that the program is stuck in this line:

while (app_uart_get(&cr) != NRF_SUCCESS);

The return value of the function is not "NRF_SUCCESS".

The echo function in the "uart" example was working fine.

The only difference between the uart_inits of both is uart_error_handle and uart_event_handle and the Flow Control. But even if I set this to enable it won't work:

UART: UART example

BLE_APP_UART: BLE_APP_UART example

Also if I flash the code, I can't download the softdevice to the board. Maybe there are conflicts but I have no clue.

Thanks in advance Hannes

    Could you double check that you have connected the boards correctly together?

    TX <--> RX
    RX <--> TX
    

    Update 20.03.2017: I have tested similar code here, based on ble_app_uart (SDK 13), and in that case app_uart_get(..) will receive characters from the terminal. Could you test my code, and check if it work on your side? The project should be used with S132 v.4.0.2.

    Update 22.03.2017: APP_TIMER_CONFIG_RTC_FREQUENCY should have the following definition in sdk_config.h.
