CONFIG_UART_2_NRF_HW_ASYNC

Use hardware RX byte counting

Type: bool

Help

If default driver uses interrupts to count incoming bytes, it is possible
that with higher speeds and/or high cpu load some data can be lost.
It is recommended to use hardware byte counting in such scenarios.
Hardware RX byte counting requires timer instance and one PPI channel

Direct dependencies

UART_2_ASYNC && UART_2_NRF_UARTE && UART_NRFX && SERIAL

(Includes any dependencies from ifs and menus.)

Defaults

No defaults. Implicitly defaults to n.
