UART does not send data in nRF9160.

This works!

#include <zephyr.h>
#include <misc/printk.h>
#include <uart.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

/* nRF9160 DK voltage = 3.0V 
 * non sucure
 * board name: nrf9160_pca10090ns
 * nrf9160_pca10090ns.overlay */

static u8_t uart_buf[1024];
static K_FIFO_DEFINE(fifo_uart_tx_data);
static K_FIFO_DEFINE(fifo_uart_rx_data);

/********************************************/
void uart_wifi_cb(struct device *x)
{
    printk("uart_wifi_cb\n");
	uart_irq_update(x);
	int data_length = 0;

	if (uart_irq_rx_ready(x)) {
        data_length = uart_fifo_read(x, uart_buf, sizeof(uart_buf));
		uart_buf[data_length] = 0;
	}
	printk("%s\n", uart_buf);
}

void main (void)
{
        struct device *uart_wifi= device_get_binding("UART_1");
        uart_irq_callback_set(uart_wifi, uart_wifi_cb);
        uart_irq_rx_enable(uart_wifi); 

	while (1) {
	    printk("testing...\n");
        uart_fifo_fill(uart_wifi, "AT\r" ,sizeof("AT\r"));
        k_sleep(2000);
                
	}
}

Btw, uart_wifi_cb receives only one character every callback like below. I want a whole characters in one callback. How can I do that?

Thank you for your reply!

I tested it but it doesn't release data through UART. I checked the waveform.

This is result. Do you have any advice?

Hi yusuke,

Can you try:

static u8_t uart_buf[1024];
static K_FIFO_DEFINE(fifo_uart_tx_data);
static K_FIFO_DEFINE(fifo_uart_rx_data);
struct uart_data_t {
	void  *fifo_reserved;
	u8_t    data[1024];
	u16_t   len;
};

/********************************************/
void uart_cb(struct device *x)
{
	uart_irq_update(x);
	int data_length = 0;

	if (uart_irq_rx_ready(x)) {
                data_length = uart_fifo_read(x, uart_buf, sizeof(uart_buf));
		uart_buf[data_length] = 0;
	}
	printk("%s", uart_buf);

       	if (uart_irq_tx_ready(x)) {
               
        	struct uart_data_t *buf =
			k_fifo_get(&fifo_uart_tx_data, K_NO_WAIT);
		u16_t written = 0;

		/* Nothing in the FIFO, nothing to send */
		if (!buf) {
			uart_irq_tx_disable(x);
			return;
		}

		while (buf->len > written) {
			written += uart_fifo_fill(x,
						  &buf->data[written],
						  buf->len - written);
		}

		while (!uart_irq_tx_complete(x)) {
			/* Wait for the last byte to get
			 * shifted out of the module
			 */
		}

		if (k_fifo_is_empty(&fifo_uart_tx_data)) {
			uart_irq_tx_disable(x);
		}

		k_free(buf);
	
		
	}

       
}

void main (void)
{

     
        struct device *uart_send= device_get_binding("UART_1");
        uart_irq_callback_set(uart_send, uart_cb);
	    
        
        
        

	while (1) {
	    
	    printk("testing...\n"); 
		           
        uart_fifo_fill(uart_send, "AT\r" ,sizeof("AT\r"));
        k_sleep(2000);
                
	}
     
	
}
