Radio test example - UART pins

Hey there,

We are working with NRF52832 WLSCP package,

We had stated certification process , for BQB testing need to use the Radio test example with UART between EUT to the PC ( using a dongle or SDK)

As my new design does not use all required GPIO, Idon't have direct connection to connect UART pins

1. Is there a way to do the UART over BLE?

2. How to change the pins to fit my accessible GPIO's?

Default GPIO nRF52832

UART nRF52832

Interface MCU UART

    What "should be DK" exactly? When making a project for a custom board, it's recommended to create a board .h file of your own called whatever you'd like it to. You can use the pca10040.h as a reference, but you should edit all pin configs/defines that doesn't do the same thing as the DK to do what your board does.

    If the only change you require is to change the pins that the UART uses you can switch out RX_PIN_NUMBER, TX_PIN_NUMBER, RTS_PIN_NUMBER and CTS_PIN_NUMBER to the pin numbers you'd like them to be, and that should be sufficient to let your custom board communicate over UART with your desired GPIOs.

    Best regards,
