问题
I have an Arduino device that runs on the Nordic SDK (it's a Red Bear Lab BLE nano). I want to be able to do a serial print into GTKTerm to be able to debug what is going on in my code. To do this I have the following code:

The problem I am having is that only sometimes I will see an output in GTKterm. I am unable to find a pattern for when it works and when it doesn't. How would I go about debugging this?

Some suggestions for starters:
Ensure that your terminal software is asserting the DTR signal. That was the solution found here.
Temporarily remove the call to power_manage() to ensure that is not part of the problem.
Change APP_UART_FLOW_CONTROL_ENABLED for APP_UART_FLOW_CONTROL_DISABLED to determine whether it is a flow control issue. You will not need flow control for output to a PC in any case. It may be needed if you are inputting to the device (especially with a buffer length of 1) or if you are sending to data to a slow device with limited buffering.
Verify ERR_CODE after calling APP_UART_FIFO_INIT to ensure no problems occurred at that stage. Possible error codes are defined here.
