As you are finding, adding components to a project is non-trivial.

Removing them is much easier!

Thank you for replying to fast!

I will try and look through the UART example sdk_config.h file to find any inconsistent defines.

I really want to avoid using an example with the UART already working because I only want to include the absolutely essential files from SDK.

Also I will need to include many more drivers such as:

- SPI

- QSPI

- I2C

- USB

and later the Softdevice for using Bluetooth Low energy (BLE)

FWIW, I find the config viewer/editor in Keil far superior. The free version is all you need:

Even when using SES for code development, I use the free Keil for viewing & editing sdk_config.h

It'll be that there's more settings required in the sdk_config.h file.

I suggest that you take an example project with working UART, and see what other settings are used in its sdk_config.h

Or just base your project on something which already has working UART support.

Using the example project with working UART, browse to find what is needed to enable that.

The sdk_config.h is a constant cause of problems - possibly the biggest single cause of problems?

This is really something that Nordic need to sort out.
