Hi there!
As a new developer for the nRF5 SDK, the choices are bewildering and I could not find documentation that gives a clear direction. If there is, please share the link(s).
I have been tasked to work on a FreeRTOS project for the nRF52840 that uses SDK 16 but I want to create code that will make it easy to upgrade to SDK 17 later. The FreeRTOS task has to communicate with a GSM module (Quectel M95) with HW flow control (RTS/CTS). The existing code uses the serial port library (nrf_serial set of functions) but it appears to be deprecated and absent in SDK 17.
So my question is: what is the recommended (best practice) serial driver to use in a FreeRTOS app? nrf_drv_uart, nrfx_uart, nrfx_uarte, nrf_serial or nrf_libuarte?
It appears that nrf_drv_uart is old / legacy and should not be used for new development... nrfx_uart is the new recommended driver, right?
Why would the library (e.g. nrf_libuarte) be a better choice over using the driver (e.g. nrfx_uarte) directly?
Thanks in advance,
Pieter
