configure UART to send/receive commands from PC

[apo]

Hi,

I have a custom board that is based on nrf52833 SoC. I need to configure a UART COM port for communication.
In this custom board, default pins for uart0 and uart1 are occupied by another HW, therefore I'm not able to use them. What is the way to go in general? Am I still able to create another UART port by using unoccupied pins? If I can, could you please help me to get on track?

using nRF connect SDK v2.2.0

Hello,

You could still use UART0/UART1 by changing the default pins assigned in the dts file to any of the unused pins. In version v2.0.0 and above of the nRF Connect SDK, the pins are assigned through the node Pin control.. You could take a look at the migration guide here: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/2.0.0/nrf/ug_pinctrl.html#migration-of-the-devicetree-files and https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/2.0.1/zephyr/hardware/pinctrl/index.html
