NRF LOG in SDK 15.1

Question

Hello. I'd migrated my application on SDK 15.1 from 14.2. The firmware of my product is always updating so I use NRF LOG module to debug it and see what is going on in every corner of my device. So, thank you very much for this oppartunities. But in SDK 15.1 I don't find settings (in sdk_config.h) to select channel for logger (RTT or UART). In case of UART I can't select TX pin and baudrate? My app is based on ble_app_template example. How can I contol my logger module in this example?

Hi, 
 You can change the definitions for NRF_LOG_BACKEND_UART_ENABLED or NRF_LOG_BACKEND_RTT_ENABLED from 0 to 1 to select channel for logger. NRF_LOG_BACKEND_UART_TX_PIN for selecting the TX pin and NRF_LOG_BACKEND_UART_BAUDRATE for selecting the baudrate. All this can also be done easily from the "Configuration Wizard". If you are using Segger Embedded Studio see the answer to this case to set it up.

Hi, 
 No problem, the infocenter have some information about the driver migration in here . 
 
 "For new applications, it is strongly recommended to use the new API directly, since the legacy layer will be deprecated and eventually removed in future SDK releases." 
 So it seems as this "unconvenience" will only be temporary. As I am told, the migration to the new driver API have something to do with licenses. Best Regards, Marjeris

Hi, 
 Thank you for reporting this issue. I have forwarded it to the SDK team. 
 In the meantime you can try to copy the sdk_config.h file from another example (e.g. \examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_template\pca10040\s132\config\sdk_config.h) into the config folder of \peripheral	emplate_project
