BLE Buttonless DFU Template and Serial Library

[Luke Galea]

Hey all,

I am working on the BLE Buttonless DFU Template and I have managed to add the Serial library in Polling mode.

However I am experiencing issues when reading from the UART. Polling mode does not use timeouts and so it is reading one character at a time from the UART line rather than a whole word at a time. The first option would be to fix this.

The second option is to use IRQ or DMA mode, however I am getting the following compilation error: region 'UNPLACED_SECTIONS' overflowed by 40 bytes. and '.nrf_queue' will not fit in region 'UNPLACED_SECTIONS'. Any ideas about this please?

Thanks

Have you got Driver examples for UART/UARTE in SDK16? Because I managed to find driver examples for other peripherals but not for UART/UARTE. The one example for UART is using FIFO macro which is not aimed for initializing two UART instances.

Actually you can find example with multiple UARTs in SDK v16 at \examples\peripheral\serial_uartes
