Hi.

I am currently trying to setup UART on this device to help with debugging. Using the SDK I have managed to setup ports, port speed, FIFO levels etc but haven't managed to work out how you send data to the UART for transmission via the GPIO? I found the function transmit_bytes in the uart_drv.h but it has no field to pass data into it. I suspect I have missed something pretty obvious and would appreciate a point in the right direction.

Hi,

Currently, there is no software support in the ROM library nor in the SDK, so the UART cannot be used as a standard UART. Software support may be added to the SDK in the future. Only NFC-like functionality can be used as described on page 44 of the NAC1080 Software development guide.

Thanks,
Ajeeth
