UART Forwarding/Passthrough

[blueshifting]

I have a GPS over UART to a nrf5283. For debugging the GPS, I'd like to passthrough UART from my PC to the GPS. I know the nrf5283 only has one UART. Is there a simple way to do this without creating a second UART in software?

The nrf52_1 in the PC <-- uart --> nrf52_1 <-- ble --> {your nrf52832} <-- uart --> {your GPS} can be a cheap nRF52 breakout board (< USD$9.00) and that's the setup I have used to "configure" my nRF52 board which is hooked up to a Telit module through the uart.

I also like the GPIOTE/PPI solution proposed by endnode; elegant and simple :)
