nrf9160 transmit buffer over uart

Hi,

I am stuck in the same problem. I looked into the post here: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/44788/nrf9160-dk-send-receive-data-from-uart1

I get the same error when I try to combine the code there i.e: fifo_uart_tx_data undeclared error. I could not find it in the uart.h library and wanted to know how is it declared ?

Regards,

Adeel.

Have you tried calling uart_fifo_fill() from the uart example I showed you? I tried it and at least it does compile.

What does your .conf file look like?

I get fifo_uart_tx_data undeclared error on it.

Am I missing something?

I'm not sure if there is any example that shows explicit use of uart transmission. Have you tried just using uart_fifo_fill()?

[quote user=""]however, I didnt understand what are those fifo's , and if I should initialize them ? [/quote]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFO_(computing_and_electronics)

In short, a FIFO is just a data buffer where data is read and written in a certain order. I don't think you need to initialize it, I believe it's handled by the kernel when the drivers are initialized.

I have,

this example is only RX.

Hello, have you looked at this example?
