@maurizio: mbed is an open platform, I think it's totally fine to modify the code as you wish.

You can also have a look at this blog.

Where we explain how you can use the mbed board with our SDK. Note that most of our example in the SDK can be used with the KEIL Uvision evaluation (free) version.

Thank you, Hung. I will try to post the question in the mBed forum, but I don't have many hopes, as I noticed that very similar questions related to other boards were left unanswered... As an alternative, do you think is it feasible (in the mBed environment) to access to the needed nRF registers and set them properly to support HWFC ?

@maurizio: The hardware on the chip support HWFC, but I'm not sure how it is configured on mbed.

Exporting the mbed project to KEIL and I found that it was because the platform doesn't have define macro for DEVICE_SERIAL_FC, so in SerialBase.h, the function set_flow_control() is not included.

I would suggest you to also post a question on mbed forum, you may get better answer from there.
