How to add APP_UART to Beacon examlple project (SDK 15.0)

[CWallach]

I've setup, compiled and run the BLE Beacon project an have made some changes. Now I need to enable the UART. Simply adding UART files to the project does not work due to missing defines.  I've searched without success.  What is the procedure for adding and enabling the UART into the Beacon example project?

Thanks

Hi CWallach,

Here is a tutorial on how to import files and drivers in Segger Embedded Studio.

I would recommend you to use the BLE beacon Project as a starting point then add the UART functionality with the help of using the UART example as reference. 

(add the defines and enable the UART in sdk_config.h)

First, there is no CMSIS configurator in Segger Embedded Studio for linux.

I edited file  ble_app_beacon/pca10040/s132/config/sdk_config.h and enabled every relevant definition. The build fails because the conditional:

             #if NRF_MODULE_ENABLED(APP_UART)

 is FALSE.  There is no APP_UART defined in sdk_config.h 

Adding #define APP_UART 1 into sdk_config.h  does not work.

What needs to be done to enable the UART?

Thanks
