Get Mesh Light Switch Demo to output log over UART

[supershirobon]

Hello,

Is there a way to get the output log for the Mesh Light Switch Demo to output over UART instead of RTT? We are using a Fanstel BT832X module containing an nRF52832 on a shield which connects to the PCA10040 DK for programming.

The shield can be powered and run independently while disconnected from the DK, therefore I need to see debugging information over the UART because the BT832X is connected to an FTDI chip with the correct pins for RX, TX, etc. specified in custom_board.h included in boards.h.

Basically I'm asking is there a way to get __LOG() in main.c for the provisioner demo to output over UART instead of RTT? I'm using Mesh v2.1.1 and nRF5 SDK v15.0.0.

I've tried defining UART_CONFIG_LOG_ENABLED to 1 in sdk_config.h but it didn't do anything.

Thank you.

This case might also be useful to look at. In the newest mesh sdk v2.1.1, we have a sdk_coexist folder under examples. I would take a look at the ble_app_proximity_coexist example there & see how the log is initialized. You should be able to initialize logging over UART instead of via RTT in that example. Then, try to merge the logging functionality from the proximity example to the light switch example.
