When will DEVICE_SERIAL_ASYNCH, DEVICE_SERIAL_FC, & DEVICE_I2C_ASYNCH be added to the nrf51822 Mbed HAL?

Our present application makes heavy use of the nrf51822 UART and I2C interfaces. We have a 115200 baud UART channel and thus need HW flow control. We are interfacing to an I2C bus with 3 devices on it and thus need buffered I2C.

We are looking to use the Mbed peripheral & BLE abstractions. There is presently a Mbed BLE implementation so it looks like we're covered there. The DEVICE_SERIAL_ASYNCH, DEVICE_SERIAL_FC, & DEVICE_I2C_ASYNCH switches exist in the driver layer, but are unimplemented in the HAL layer or device.h. I know there are buffered UART & I2C implementations presently in the nrf51 SDK.

When will DEVICE_SERIAL_ASYNCH, DEVICE_SERIAL_FC, & DEVICE_I2C_ASYNCH be added to the Mbed HAL?

The answer to this question is critical to our design roadmap.

Thx,

Dean

Hi Dean,

We do and will continue support mbed. However, most of the development for mbed has been carried by mbed team at ARM. They would have better support for question regarding mbed than us.

Just one note, you can avoid using KEIL packs by using our .zip SDK package from our website here.

In addition, you can export the mbed project into KEIL project and can modify and compile the project offline and can add the feature that is not available in.
