 I am working with the nRF52840 with the 14.1 SDK. 
 I am using the 15.4 UART example and currently only data_ack is enabled. I am hoping to add poll_data and poll_ack, what API&amp;#39;s would you suggest to implement these features? 
 Thanks in advance</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Tue, 17 Jul 2018 14:35:06 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/36423/uart-example-apis" /><item><title>RE: UART Example APIs</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/140413?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 17 Jul 2018 14:35:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:f31f9553-09a3-4ab8-871b-e046b4b428b1</guid><dc:creator>Simon</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;What example specifically are you thinking of? UART emulated over BLE or normal UART? Since acknowlegment doesn&amp;#39;t make sense regarding normal UART, I guess it is the former&amp;nbsp;(either&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.nordic.infocenter.thread_zigbee.v1.0.0%2Fthread_multi_switched_uart_coap_example.html"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v14.0.0%2Findex.html"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;example maybe).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However if you want to access the link layer (where acknowledgement takes places), this is not possible due to restricted accessibility:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/18094/apis-for-link-layer-control-procedures"&gt;https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/18094/apis-for-link-layer-control-procedures&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here are the API for respectively for the UART (hardware) and the Nordic UART service (emulation of UART over BLE):&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
