LPUART nRF9160 - nRF52840

Related to https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/76545/lpuart-nrf9160---nrf52840 (I can not add reply there).

With ncs v1.6.0 every second AT transaction fails.

We appreciate the addition of the native support for LPUART in SLM (without need to modify sources - just using prj.conf option). We discuss it with a sales representative/support also.

We believe bringing LPUART to the SLM application requires a more extensive understanding of lower-level mechanisms rather than just enabling some Kconfig options, some source patches for binding and recompilation and we think in the future, it could be really important for other customers also.
Why? Let's say the customer wants to use NB-IoT eDRX feature and receive notification from the modem when the datagram from network is available. At the same time, you don't want to keep UARTs on both MCUs running (mainly because high speed clock power consumption), and Nordic's LPUART is a perfect solution for such a situation.
Thank you.

  • Hello Michal,

    thanks a lot for your feedback!

    We appreciate the addition of the native support for LPUART in SLM (without need to modify sources - just using prj.conf option).

     I have to admit that I’m not sure if I can follow you here. The Changelog for NCS v1.6.0 does not mention anything about it. Can you elaborate?

    With ncs v1.6.0 every second AT transaction fails.

    Would you mind sending me an application log that shows the issue you are facing? I might want to check and report this internally.

    Thanks and regards,
