No, there is no ble_app_uart and ESB merged example but if you search "time slot" on this forum you get over 100 hits and many of them point to some code samples or examples, e.g. this one.

will you please tell me which examples are provided in sdk so that i can test it. Actually i want to ask that can i use radio library directly in the ble_app_uart? if not then please tell me what can i use or which code i have to refer for using radio(esb-prx) in ble_app_uart.

Waiting for reply,

Pallavi

Yes, in general it is possible, Nordic BLE stack (aka Soft Device) provides so-called "timeslot API" which allows you to overtake RADIO and other peripheral for certain time and use it e.g. for other RF technology then BLE. See examples in SDK and explanation in SD specification.
