NrfConnect SDK Config for UART console

[Jack Panetta]

Hi,

So I am trying to configure the stdout console to use UART1 by default. Using the NrfConnect menuconfig in Segger emStudio I can set it to use UART1 with the following menu option:

However, is there a way to permanently configure this via the prj.conf file? I looked through the "Configuration Options" found here and couldn't find anything.

Hello,

I suggest you just reroute the tx and rx pins to the desired GPIO pins by using an .overlay file. There is an option called "CONFIG_UART_CONSOLE_ON_DEV_NAME" that essentially does the same thing you did, but I don't think there is any reason to use a different uart device.
