RE: Serial / UARTE with S140 soft device

I have added serial functions. Need to ensure that config file is correct. Start with working serial example as highlighted in link. Add paths in S140 Make File. Check S140 Config file and update to match serial example for UART /UARTE . If file has uart logging disable if using UART 0 as will be set for logging.

I have edited the makefile to include the required paths. Functions can now be included.

Have you made sure you have the include path correctly ? Could you take a screenshot of the User Include Directories that show the /components/libraries/serial included in your project (inside Option -> Select Common configuration)

I have attached a screenshot of the issue. I have compiled and successfully run the serial example in SDK revision 15 using the updated files in NRF52840 UART1 not working in SDK 14 and have ensured that the configuration file in the buttonless DFU config for UARTE/UART is equivalent to the

Could you take a screenshot of the problem when you try to compile ? Make sure you include all the needed .c file and path to .h file.

Make sure you updated sdk_config.h to enable UART (set NRFX_UARTE_ENABLED = 1) and NRF_SERIAL_ENABLED = 1.

Serial library uses drv_uart as the backend, you can have multiple instance. There are 2 instance of UARTE on the NRF52840.
