Good afternoon,
I am able to write data using polling mode with the macro NRF_SERIAL_CONFIG_DEF(serial_config, NRF_SERIAL_MODE_POLLING, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL). I am using the peripheral example serial program in the nrf5 SDK v15.0.0. I checked the UART lines with the Logic Analyzer and it shows bytes sending to and receiving from the machine. However I am not able to read the incoming data stream with the nrf_serial_read function. The function will block and never return.
The functionality I am trying to achieve is very trivial and does not need any complex queues and interrupt handlers. I just have to read and store data from the UART. An example or code snippet describing the nuances of the nrf_serial_read function would be very helpful.
Thank you in advance.
Sabine
