.. zephyr:code-sample:: zbus-uart-bridge
   :name: UART bridge
   :relevant-api: zbus_apis

   Redirect channel events to the host over UART.

Overview
********

This simple application demonstrates a UART redirection of all channel events to the host.
The device sends information to the script running on a computer host. The script decodes it and prints it to the stdout.

Building and Running
********************

This project outputs to the console. It can be built and executed
on native_sim as follows:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/subsys/zbus/uart_bridge
   :host-os: unix
   :board: native_sim
   :goals: run

Sample Output

Exit execution by pressing :kbd:`CTRL+C`.

The :file:`decoder.py` script can be executed using the following command:

.. code-block:: bash

    python3.8 samples/subsys/zbus/uart_bridge/decoder.py /dev/pts/2


Note the run command above prints the value of pts port because it is running in
:ref:`native_sim <native_sim>`.
Look at the line indicating ``uart_1 connected to pseudotty: /dev/pts/2``.
It can be different in your case. If you are using a board, read the documentation to get the
correct port destination (in Linux is something like ``/dev/tty...`` or in Windows ``COM...``).

From the serial decoder (Python script), you would see something like this:

.. code-block:: shell

    PUB [sensor_data] -> b'\xc5\x01\x00\x00\xb2\x11\x00\x00'
    PUB [start_measurement] -> b'\x00'
