3.4.7 UART Interfaces

Four UART ports of the SoC are interfaced with FT4232H for UART-to-USB functionality and terminated on a micro B connector (J26). When the EVM is connected to a Host using the provided USB cable, the host can establish a Virtual Com Port which can be used with any terminal emulation application. The FT4232H is bus powered. Virtual Com Port drivers for the FT4232H can be obtained from https://www.ftdichip.com/Products/ICs/FT4232H.htm.

The FT_Prog has three modes of operation: Idle Mode, Program Mode and Edit Mode. FT_Prog programming parameters can be saved in files referred as EEPROM templates. Once defined, these EEPROM templates can be loaded by FT_Prog and used to program EEPROMs.

  • Idle Mode is the initial mode of operation when the program is launched.
  • Edit Mode is used to edit the settings of an EEPROM template.
  • Program Mode is used to Program and Erase the device EEPROMs.
