 My desire is to connect a BC832 module (with nRF52832 on it) to a UART on a controller board and then send data from an iOS app (programmed in Swift) through the BLE module to the controller board. I&amp;#39;m not really in a position to write any firmware</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 09 Apr 2018 13:35:15 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/33176/uart-pass-through-for-communication-between-ios-app-and-controller-board" /><item><title>RE: UART pass-through for communication between iOS app and controller board</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/127449?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 09 Apr 2018 13:35:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:630ce1cb-85c0-41f7-9e9c-a5ba3885d84c</guid><dc:creator>Bj&amp;#248;rn Kvaale</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;1) You can download the firmware from the &lt;a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/nordic/Products/nRF5-SDK/nRF5-SDK-zip/59011" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Nordic SDK download page&lt;/a&gt; (use the latest SDK). &lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/24933/nrf52832-bare-chip-programming" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;This link&lt;/a&gt; might be useful for programming the FW onto the board. I don&amp;#39;t think you will need the Fanstel evaluation board like &lt;a href="http://www.fanstel.com/bt832-1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;described in this link&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) There are multiple resources available for interfacing the nrf52832 from the iOS device. I would definitely download the nrf toolbox app from the app store, &lt;a href="https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/IOS-nRF-Toolbox" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;including the swift source code&lt;/a&gt;. I would take a look at the UART app inside the nrf toolbox app. You can&amp;nbsp;test this iOS app with the &lt;a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v15.0.0/ble_sdk_app_nus_eval.html?cp=4_0_0_4_1_2_24" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;nordic uart example&lt;/a&gt; in the nordic sdk.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3) Take a look at this documentation for setting up serialization (i.e. using the nrf52832 as BLE connectivity between the iPhone &amp;amp; the controller board.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope that helps!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
