RE: Baremetal UART TXD blocked due to HWFC regardless MACRO definition

I found it.

const app_uart_comm_params_t comm_params =
  {
      RX_PIN_NUMBER,
      TX_PIN_NUMBER,
      RTS_PIN_NUMBER,
      CTS_PIN_NUMBER,
      APP_UART_FLOW_CONTROL_ENABLED,
      false,
      UART_BAUDRATE_BAUDRATE_Baud115200
  };

The struct variable enabled FLOW_CONTROL as true, while HWFC is useless. We have to disable it as following code.

const app_uart_comm_params_t comm_params =
  {
      RX_PIN_NUMBER,
      TX_PIN_NUMBER,
      RTS_PIN_NUMBER,
      CTS_PIN_NUMBER,
      APP_UART_FLOW_CONTROL_DISABLED,//APP_UART_FLOW_CONTROL_ENABLED,
      false,
      UART_BAUDRATE_BAUDRATE_Baud115200
  };

We can not replace it with HWFC, since in the stuct, it is a enum, not a macro.

typedef struct
{
    uint32_t                rx_pin_no;    /**< RX pin number. */
    uint32_t                tx_pin_no;    /**< TX pin number. */
    uint32_t                rts_pin_no;   /**< RTS pin number, only used if flow control is enabled. */
    uint32_t                cts_pin_no;   /**< CTS pin number, only used if flow control is enabled. */
    app_uart_flow_control_t flow_control; /**< Flow control setting, if flow control is used, the system will use low power UART mode, based on CTS signal. */
    bool                    use_parity;   /**< Even parity if TRUE, no parity if FALSE. */
    uint32_t                baud_rate;    /**< Baud rate configuration. */
} app_uart_comm_params_t;
