SDK 17 missing Serial

[BitsAndBytes]

I'm using nRF52832 S132 and migrating from SDK 15.2 to SDK 17.0

My previous code used nrf_serial which appears is no longer available in SDK 17. I don't see any info in the migration doc about it.

Why was this removed? Was it replaced with something else?

Thanks

Hi,

You're correct, we haven't included any information regarding this in the migration guide. I'll report this internally. The nrf_serial library has been deprecated in SDK 17.0 and is now replaced by the libUARTE library.

Hey thanks Jared,

If you have a quick overview of the diffs/advantages that would be cool.

If not, no biggie. I'm digging into the 17.0 example now.

Thanks

Hi,

In short we've decided to deprecate the library and rather focus our effort in continuing the development of libUARTE. The libraries has several features that overlapped, See the documentation for more.
