Is there an SDK 5.0.3 example BLE project (target_app) that uses the UART for debug? The peripheral examples at "\projects\target_apps\peripheral_examples" use "\projects\target_apps\peripheral_examples\shared\common_uart\common_uart.c" which contains the note: "(Do not use for your designs) - (legacy)" and the BLE example projects I have found do not use printf debugging so I'm not sure how to "add" printf debugging to the BLE examples.
Thank you.

Hi rydello,
Please check below, based on the SKD5 template the steps that are required in order to achieve a printing functionallity over UART:
1) In the da1458x_config_basic.h file define the CFG_PRINTF_UART2.
2) In the user_periph_setup.h change the default pins to P0_4 for TX and P0_5 for RX
3) Make the following change in the schedule_while_ble_on:
//grant control to the application, try to go to sleep
//if the application returns GOTO_SLEEP
if (app_asynch_trm())
{
continue; // so that rwip_schedule() is called again
}
else
{
arch_printf_process();
break;
}
4)在user_callback_config.h。pp_on_ble_powered replace the NULL value with a custom function e.x. user_app_on_ble_powered
5) Declare and implement the user_app_on_ble_powered function in the empty_peripheral_template.h file as below:
implementation: enum arch_main_loop_callback_ret user_app_on_ble_powered(void) { return KEEP_POWERED; }
6) Include the "arch_console.h" file that provides the printf functionality.
7) Use the arch_puts in order to print data to your uart.
Thanks MT_dialog
Thank you. I am now able to see my uart debug output messages. I have ensured that CFG_PRINTF and CFG_PRINTF_UART2 are defined, I modified the definition of the UART2 TX and RX port/pins and implemented a user_app_on_ble_powered() callback. However, the suggested changes in schedule_while_ble_on() did not seem to work since arch_printf_process() is only called if user_app_on_ble_powered() returns a false (0) value. I left the code as-is which seems to work:
//grant control to the application, try to go to sleep//if the applciation returns GOTO_SLEEP
if (!app_asynch_trm())
break;
//SDKIMPROVEMENTS Needs testing!! We can add the following condition and move// it out of the loop
// we may consider putting it in before the app_asynch_trm
//if (GetBits16(CLK_CTRL_REG, RUNNING_AT_XTAL16M))
// execute the printf processarch_printf_process();
Thanks!
