UARTs interfaceEdit

DescriptionEdit

The UARTs interfaces are available on the Evaluation Kit at the connector J8

J8 is a 20x2x2.54mm pin header expansion connector that delivers many interfaces unused on board.

Some interfaces could not be available in a specific model.

SignalsEdit

The following table describes the interface signals:

Pin# SOM Pin# Pin name Pin function Pin Notes
7 J15.150 SAI2_TXFS UART1_CTS
8 J15.144 SAI2_RXFS UART1_TXD
10 J15.140 SAI2_RXC UART1_RXD
11 J15.142 SAI2_RXD0 UART1_RTS

Device mappingEdit

UART3 is mapped to /dev/ttymxc2 device in Linux. The peripheral is used as the default serial console, both for the bootloader and the kernel.

Device usageEdit

To connect to the debug serial port:

  1. connect the DB9 adapter bracket to the J22 connector on the SBCX board
  2. connect a serial cable between DB9 connector and PC COM port through a NULL-modem cable (not provided)
  3. start your favorite terminal emulator software on PC (eg: PuTTY); communication parameters are: 115200,N,8,1
