It it possible to disable RTT logging in ble_app_uart and use UART itself for logging instead, if I am not using the UART for user inpout/output?

Hi,

I am using the ble_app_uart as the basis for my project, where the NUS is used to send and receive data from my mobile app. The outgoing data is generated internally from the ADC and the dat coming from teh mobile is handled in my main routing, also internally. Hence the UART is actually idle.

So instead of using the RTT for logging, which is the default setup in the CMSIS configuration, can i set the UART as the logging backend ? Because then i can simply watch the interaction on the serial console through a FTDI USB serial adapter and not have to connect the debugger.

If it is possible, what do i have to do ?

Sorry for typo :-) "the data coming from the mobile is intercepted in the nus_data_handler() and sent for processing in my main routine"

Hi,

This is not possible with the nRF52810 as it only has one UART/E. The UART is already in use by the NUS module regardless if you need it or not in your project. I would rather just configure the pins that are used for the UART in the NUS module to the pins that are connected to the FTDI USB serial adapter. Then you could just call printf() and it will send the data to the FTDI USB serial adapter.

Thank you Jared... apologies for the ate reply, i was working on the project and facing other issues, hence the delay.

I was already doing that - using printf() .

ok, so you're satisfied with that solution then?

Yes, you may please close this ticket :-)
