how to use deferred NRF logging and twi manager

[George Sykes]

Hi,

When using the TWI manager you normally provide a callback function that is executed once the transaction has been completed. I'm using the NRF logger module to display the output from the device to my computer and don't know how I'm supposed to print the output of the transaction within the callback as the logger module is described as non-thread-safe (when I attempt to do so it throws and NRF BUSY error). I add a log in the main() function but I wouldn't know when the transaction had been completed.

As I'm using FreeRTOS should I include an NRF_LOG_FLUSH task and just rely on that?

The TWI callbacks are called from TWI interrupt context and calling NRF_LOG_FLUSH in that context is not correct as it is very time-consuming. 

At which function does the NRF_BUSY error code is returned? could it be that the logger thread was running and was in the middle of the of processing the log buffer when the TWI ISR was called and left the logger module in a state where it would not accept any addition of logs to the buffer?  

I have not seen the scenario above myself but would be possible. Could you give me your project so that i can test to see if that is the case?

Do you have an update on the best method to use the NRF Logger and FreeRTOS together?
