UARTs interface[edit | edit source]

Description[edit | edit source]

The UARTs interface available on the Evaluation Kit are mapped to the following connectors:

  • J21 is a standard DB9 male connector for the configurable UART1 port. The board provides some configuration options for the selection of the UART mode (RS232/RS422/RS485 with auto-direction)


DB9 configuration
  • J25 is a 6x1x2.54mm horizontal socket header for the UART3 port. This is a Digilent Pmod™ Compatible connector for the UART Pmod™ Compatiblemodule (6-Pin Pmod™ Compatible Connector Digilent Pmod™ Interface Specification Type 4 UART)


PMOD configuration

Signals[edit | edit source]

The following tables describes the interface signals

UART1[edit | edit source]

In the schematics page 13, the signals label are referring to the original AXEL Lite EVK SOM's signals. UART5 is referencing the AXEL Lite UART connection and should be used just as a signal labels.
For MITO 8M mini/Nano EVK, the UART connected is UART1

Device mapping[edit | edit source]

  • UART1 is mapped to /dev/ttymxc1 device in Linux
  • UART3 is mapped to /dev/ttymxc2 device in Linux

Device usage[edit | edit source]

  • UART1 is a MultiProtocol that supports (after hardware Jumper configuration) the RS232, RS4222 or RS485 protocols. The related device tree file has to be properly configured too for enabling the GPIO transceiver configuration.
  • UART3 can be used with a PMOD adapter or with a TTL peripheral
