Using UARTE0 and UARTE1 in different pins ?

Dear Members,

I saw this example,

https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v15.2.0%2Fserial_uartes_example.html

I can not find this example on SDK 17,

How can I use UARTE0 and UARTE1 on separate port ? one is for debugging via USB and the other one for communicating with GPS UART ?

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

  • ................If you want to use two UARTE instances then you have to enable both instances in the config file and resources that the module is dependent on ( Timer and PPI) . Next you have to define an instance of the module and initialize it in the project. Again, the libUARTE example should be a good reference, it's pretty straightforward.

    ...................

    How ? What's PPI ? thanks

  • Hi,

    Could you add an APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code) after each call to nrf_libuarte_async_init() and see if the application asserts during run time.

  • it works well on

  • Hi,

    What happens when you run the application? Does it assert somewhere? Try to use the debugger and see if the application stops somewhere. 

  • where do you want to put the breakpoint ? what do you want to see ? thanks

  • Hi,

    Could you put a breakpoint in the UARTE event handler and check that the correct event is generated when you send/receive data and check after the initialize routine that both functions are initialized correctly without any errors. The init functions should return 0 if they are initialized correctly. 

    Thank you!

    regards

    Jared 

  • Hi Jared, thanks for the reply

     case NRF_LIBUARTE_ASYNC_EVT_RX_DATA:
                           //nrf_libuarte_async_tx(&libuarte, text2, text_size2);
                         nrf_libuarte_async_tx(&libuarte, p_evt->data.rxtx.p_data, p_evt->data.rxtx.length);
                       

    I commented out the second line, now it's working,

    Thanks
