Hello Nordic!
I have been developing a Zigbee application and now, I need to connect via Serial communication with another device. I just need to listen to the port, not send any data. Unfortunately I don't have that device so I am simulating it with an Arduino Uno. It is configured as the original device at 19200baud, 8bit, 1 stop bit. First of al, is there any other better way to read data through RX/TX? Any other libraries instead of libuarte?
I found the libuarte example which I modified and make it work for my needs. It reads my Arduino via Serial communication correctly and I obtain the characters nicely. My problem occurs when I try to implement the libuarte code into mine. I have had several problems with the sdk_config file. But once the errors have faded out and the code have compiled, I have flashed it into the nrf52840DK board but the Zigbee and Serial communication suddenly stopped working. Could it be that they share some timer or some other peripheral?
I have tried changing the timer for the serial communication but achieved nothing. What may be causing this issue?
The modified code of the libuarte's example is as follows:
