@marnixcro thanks for the review.

The app template servers it's purpose if it provides a CMAKE and a .project that can be used when starting development. Adding a tracer indeed defeats the purpose as someone can implement their own UART functionality, or they can opt to use the basic app.

From a FW engineer POV indeed this app is not necessary, but HW engineers such as @azerimaker highlighted a need for it, as it reduces their struggle when testing individual/ standalone peripherals and components.
