Set up a terminal for debugging

[Rowley]

I cannot find anywhere how to make a physical connection from the nRF5340 to the PC in order to enable logging from the uart.
There is information on baud rates etc, but I need to know what cable to use and where should it be connected to the nRF5340

I'm running windows 10, nRF Connect desktop and VSCode. I have successfully written programs and they run. However I have no logging at the moment

Are you using the NRF5340 dev kit?

If so, the easiest way is to use the same micro-USB port that you flash the devkit with. In VScode if you go to the nRF connect tab, the bottom has a list of connected devices. You should see your devkit listed there. If you expand your device there will be an option for "VCOM" that will open a terminal in VScode. To print to the terminal you can use the "printk()" function. If you want to get fancy you can set up a logging module.
