BMD 300 Baud rate

Question

I am running a NUS at 115200 Baud and it works fine but when I run it at 921600 my BMD 300 triggers a Serial Fault. Is there a trick to get the 921600 to work without flow control.

Hi, 
 The app_uart library used by ble_app_uart can only receie a single byte at a time, causing lots of interrupts for the CPU to update the buffer to receive more bytes. This limits the effective throughput and will give overflow errors on high baudrate/throughput without HWFC. 
 The Libuarte - advanced UARTE driver was created specifically to resolve this issue, using multiple larger buffers together with timers and PPI to handle switching and timeouts. If you replace app_uart with libUARTE, you should be able to use the higher baudrate. 
 Here is a good starting point for you! 
 Best regards, Jørgen

You can copy the Keil project from ble_app_uart, there is just a few files you need to add to the project: + + + + + + And one path: ../../../../../../components/libraries/libuarte;
