Bluetooth: Peripheral UART

[m.abdelgyd]

I'm trying to run peripheral_uart sample on Thingy 91 , what changes i should make to the sample in order to make it run on nrf52840 of the Thingy ?

Hello,

Welcome to DevZone. Please read the documentation on the Thingy:91, found here. What version of NCS are you working on? We recommend using NCS v1.4.0. The documentation to NCS also has a good user guide on Working with Thingy:91. Please note that the Peripheral_uart sample is not tested with the Thingy:91, and we do recommend starting with the nRF52840 Development Kit to test our NCS Bluetooth samples. 

Can you provide some more information on what you are trying to achieve? 

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Hi,

I'm using NCS v1.4.0.

I've a nRF9160DK (as a Central) and Thingy 91 (as peripheral). I managed to flash the central_uart sample to nRF52840 of  nRF9160DK.

Now i want to flash the peripheral_uart sample to the nRF52840 of Thingy91.

I'm just trying to find a way to test Nordic UART Service between a peripheral and a central.

Note that by flashing the onboard nRF52840 on the nRF9160DK, you are not ensured correct functionality of the development kit as the nRF52 is the board controller. More information on the board controller can be found in the NCS documentation.

If you are only trying to test the bluetooth capability, we recommend using the nRF52840DK, but if you are looking at developing a LTE-BLE Gateway then you should look at the LTE Sensor Gateway sample.

Also, have a look at this answer from my colleague here in DevZone regarding a similar question.

Kind regards,

Ok, I managed to run the sample on nRF52840 by disabling all the LEDs/Buttons functionality.

Thanks!
