Using UARTE0 and UARTE1 in different pins ?

[RixtronixLAB]

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

[RixtronixLAB]

How can I implement this app with libuarte ?

\nRF5_SDK_15.2.0_9412b96\examples\peripheral\serial_uartes

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.

[RixtronixLAB]

err_code=nrf_libuarte_async_init(&libuarte, &nrf_libuarte_async_config, uart_event_handler, (void *)&libuarte);
		APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
		err_code=nrf_libuarte_async_init(&libuarte1, &nrf_libuarte_async_config1, uart_event_handler1, (void *)&libuarte1);
		APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
