It indeed always returns one because it always reads one byte at a time.</p> <p> </p> [quote user=""]can it be changed ? [/quote] <p>There is an api you can use, found <a href="https://github.com/NordicPlayground/fw-nrfconnect-zephyr/tree/master/tests/drivers/uart/uart_async_api">here</a>. There is an example that can read more than one byte at a time, by using DMA.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
