I solve this problem.

you did not mention if you have connected your beacon to PC or somthing? does does it get RX characters and where does uart put TX charaters? Also I do not understand what this below means

PCA20006 UART
rx ------------------------- tx (OK)
tx ------------------------- rx (XX)<-- this problem...

you might as well try to disable flow control and see if that works

How are you handling your simple_uart_put and simple_uart_get? is the UART on smart beacon connected to something? start your application in debugger and i would suspect that your are either stuck in one of these two functions.
