UARTs interfaceEdit
DescriptionEdit
The UARTs interfaces available on the Evaluation Kit are mapped to the following connectors:
- J8 is a 20x2x2.54mm pin header expansion connector that delivers many interfaces unused on board. On this connector are mapped these instances: UART1; UART2 (default debug console); UART4.
- J9 is a 8x1x1.25mm 53398-0871 Molex connector that delivers one RS232 4 wires (mapped to UART1) and one RS485 2 wires (mapped to UART3)
SignalsEdit
The following tables describe the interfaces signals:

Device mappingEdit
UART1 is mapped to /dev/ttymxc0 device in Linux
UART2 is mapped to /dev/ttymxc1 device in Linux. The peripheral is used as the default serial console, both for the bootloader and the kernel.
UART3 is mapped to /dev/ttymxc2 device in Linux
UART4 is mapped to /dev/ttymxc3 device in Linux
Device usageEdit
The TTL UARTs on J8 can be connected to external devices that use 0-3.3V levels.
The RS232 and RS485 uses the standard protocols.
