Hi Kevin
Same here, was looking into NIO recently to figure out how it works......unfortunately again there seems to be a lack of documentation for MQX.
Some info I can share with you....
If your using MQX Lite in a KSDK+ PE project you can use the debug console to component to setup a UART for stdout.
In which case, the MQX NIO sub system drivers are not used and the KSDK / PE drivers are used instead.
If your using MQX Standard in a KSDK + PE project the NIO drivers are used for stdout.
MQX Standard + MQX Lite are selected using the osa_abstraction layer component in PE. Also debug console can no longer be used to setup your com port
rather the osa component will configure the uart explicitly.
