Hi.

Have you tried to debug the code? And see that the code behaves as you are expecting?

Best regards,

Andreas

RE: Continuous switching of application UART Initialization pins(RX & TX).

Hi.

Did you try do call app_uart_close(), and app_uart_init() afterwards with the new pin set?

Best regards,

Andreas

Sorry for late reply Andreas, Yes i am using uart_init(); only. In this i declare with new pin set of UART.

[quote userid="73423" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/43539/continuous-switching-of-application-uart-initialization-pins-rx-tx/170264"]Are you using app_uart_init() when you initialize, or uart_init()?[/quote]

with different UART handler nothing i have changed in that function.

Hi.

Are you using app_uart_init() when you initialize, or uart_init()?

As far as I know the nrf_drv_uart_init and nrf_drv_uart_uninit calls are synchronous, so as soon as they have returned NRF_SUCCESS you should be able to TX/RX with the new configuration.

These calls are made in app_uart_init() and app_uart_close().

Best regards,

Andreas
