Wireless UART example.

[twar]

This time I am trying to run Wireless UART Example but it seems that it does not work.

After I flashed dev board no LED were turned ON or flashing but web site says:

LED assignments:

LED 1 is turned on when initialization is completed.
LED 2 is turned on when the device sends data through the radio and turns off after receiving a confirmation.
LED 3 is turned on when the device sends data through UART and turns off after this action is completed.
LED 4 is turned on when an error occurs.

So my question is. What are possible reasons for this behavior?
Do I need pins RTS/CTS connected for this to work?
Do I need both, the first and second device run at the same time to initialization process went through successfully?

Edit.

I think I have found the problem (or at least I think so :-)).

How this quote:

This information applies to the nRF52840 SoC only.

https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v13.0.0%2Fwireless_uart_15_4.html

coresponds with highlighted text nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a\examples\802_15_4\wireless_uart\secure\second\pca10056\blank\ses\wireless_uart_secure_second_pca10056.emProject

?

Can I run this example on PCA10040 or not?

Best regards.

Hi,

This example can not be run on nRF52832/PCA10040. The radio of nRF52832 does not support the IEEE 802.15.4 mode required by the example. It can only be run on nRF52840/PCA10056.

Best regards,
Jørgen

and immediately after that, it also says:

"This example demonstrates the usage of the 802.15.4 MAC library."

and that link to the 802.15.4 MAC library also says:

"This information applies to the nRF52840 SoC only."

No - because, as  Jørgen Holmefjord  said,  the PCA10040 does not have an nRF52840 chip!

The PCA10040 has an nRF52832 chip - and that does not have the 802.15.4 MAC.

Thank you for your answers.

Are there any other similar examples that can be run on PCA10040 with nRF52832 chip?

What do you mean by, "Similar" ?

As noted, the nRF52832 does not support 802.15.4 - so nothing to do with 802.15.4 is going to work on it!

Have you looked at the SDK examples?

http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v15.2.0/examples.html?cp=4_0_0_4

In particular, the Nordic UART Service (NUS) over BLE:

I mean it does similar thing to example mentioned in 1st port, like in this picture below:
