Tom-

What is the reason UART is unavailable for Mesh? Is this because of the Serial Interface support?

If Serial Interface is not needed for Mesh products, how can we get UART back? Will this be possible?

Thanks.

thst Hi !

Can you please be more elaborate on how to merge the UART example in SDK with log_callback_stdout in mesh.

Thanks and Regards,

Vibhu.

I'm sorry I forgot that mesh got the SDK label. The UART example is in examples/peripherals of the nrf5 SDK (nRF5_SDK)

Debug print over UART is not implemented in the Mesh SDK.

Support can be added by merging the UART example from the nRF_SDK with the log_callback_stdout() in the Mesh.

Thank you thst.

But, I can not find "examples/bsppca10040.h" file in "nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v0.9.2-Alpha". I see the file in "examples/hal/include/pca10040.h". In this file, I see below.

#define RX_PIN_NUMBER  8
#define TX_PIN_NUMBER  6
#define CTS_PIN_NUMBER 7
#define RTS_PIN_NUMBER 5
#define HWFC           true

But, I can not find who uses these defines.

Have you looked at the uart example in the sdk?

The pca10040 devkit default UART pins are 8/6 [examples/bsp/pca10040.h:69]

PSELRTS 0x508 Pin select for RTS

PSELTXD 0x50C Pin select for TXD

PSELCTS 0x510 Pin select for CTS

PSELRXD 0x514 Pin select for RXD

Thank you thst.

I already did your comment. But, I can not change UART pin. I want to use p0.04 and 5 for UART TX/RX. How can I change it?

Jake,

in ["mesh/core/api/nrf_mesh_config_core.h"] line 307 you can see that rtt is the default:

#ifndef LOG_CALLBACK_DEFAULT
#if defined(NRF51) || defined(NRF52_SERIES)
    #define LOG_CALLBACK_DEFAULT log_callback_rtt
#else
    #define LOG_CALLBACK_DEFAULT log_callback_stdout
#endif
#endif

override this at compile time with a cmake argument.

  cmake .. -G Ninja -DLOG_CALLBACK_DEFAULT=log_callback_stdout
