nRF Connect Serial Terminal v1.0.1 or later

Configuring serial port and logging

Serial Terminal supports Nordic Semiconductor Development Kit (DK)s and prototyping platforms. Your application must enable serial communications and logging over Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART).

The following sections describe some alternatives for enabling logging to serial port.

Configure serial communications and logging over UART in your nRF Connect SDK application

See DevAcademy Serial communication (UART) for instructions on enabling serial communications over UART and use the following Kconfig option to enable logging over UART.

CONFIG_LOG_BACKEND_UART=y

See also Logging in nRF Connect SDK.

Use a sample with logging over UART enabled

Alternatively, you can install a sample with logging enabled. See Working with... for the device in Device configuration guides for more information. See also Testing and debugging an application.

Use a shell sample

Nordic Semiconductor provides samples to enable shell functionality, such as Modem Shell, Wi-Fi: Shell, and Zigbee® Shell. These are found in nRF Connect SDK documentation
