Logging and UART-interfacing

[Jakes James]

Hello everyone, I'm using nRF52 kit which has got only one UART module, i'm also using the log driver(which uses UART, typing stuff into a virtual terminal using NRF_LOG_INFO) and I want to interface an esp8266 which also uses UART, is there a way to do both?

Hi,

You can use the Segger RTT as backend for the nrf_log instead of the UART. Set NRF_LOG_BACKEND_RTT_ENABLED to 1 in sdk_config.h, if you are using Segger embedded studio IDE, RTT logs can be shown directly in the IDE. If you are using a different IDE/Toolchain, you can use JLinkRTTViewer.exe.
