Nordic_UART (again)

[NickTerry]

I'm just getting started with the Nordic chips so I will apologise now if I have failed to find my own answer amongst all the devzone content.

I want to use the NUS service to provide remote access to a command line.

I have built the ble_app_uart example and programmed it on the nRF52DK board.

What I can't figure out is how I, usefully, connect to the NUS. I understand that it is a propriatary protocol by Nordic (their being no standard SPP equivalent).

I have found the (iOS) nrfConnect and nrfToolbox apps and I can discover and connect to this service but ultimately what I am hoping I can find is something I can run on a PC that just behaves like a terminal. In an ideal world that might look like a com port on the PC that I can use with any terminal app.

Does any such  generic support exist? If not what is the suggested way of using the service?

Thanks

Sorry for the delayed response. The Nordic Infocenter contains testing information for all of the examples in our different SDKs. You are using the correct example & can use Putty to send & receive information from the nrf52 dev kit connected via BLE to a smartphone running nrf connect for example.
