How to configure UART pins?

I would like to configure the TXD, RXD, RTS and CTS pins for the UART on the nRF52832.

I saw that the uart0 node (nordic,nrf-uarte) has attributes like rts-pin but they carry a warning:

IMPORTANT: This option will only be used if the new pin control driver is not enabled. It will be deprecated in the future.

So should I use something else?

Hi Andre,
Based on our development experience, you can try the followings:

Referring to the configuration in sdk\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_uart, pls change app_uart_comm_params_t to the following:

 app_uart_comm_params_t const comm_params = {
        .rx_pin_no    = RX_PIN_NUMBER,
        .tx_pin_no    = TX_PIN_NUMBER,
        .rts_pin_no   = RTS_PIN_NUMBER,
        .cts_pin_no   = CTS_PIN_NUMBER,
        .flow_control = APP_UART_FLOW_CONTROL_ENABLED,//APP_UART_FLOW_CONTROL_DISABLED APP_UART_FLOW_CONTROL_ENABLED
        .use_parity   = false,
        .baud_rate    = bps
    };

If possible, it is better to share the warning info.

Hi Andre,

And you are working on the nRF Connect SDK?

Yes. From what I understand there is also the nRF5 SDK but at least for nRF52832 it is deprecated, right?

Hi Andre,

As mentioned, if you are enabling the new pin control driver, this will be different. You can refer to the migration guide.
