2.6.9 UART Interface

The four UART ports of the SoC (MCU UART0, WKUP UART0, SoC UART0 and SoC UART1) provided by the AM62x are interfaced with an FTDI FT4232HL for UART-to-USB functionality and terminated on a USB micro-B connector (J15) on board. When the AM62X SKEVM is connected to a Host using USB cable, the computer can establish a Virtual Com Port which can be used with any terminal emulation application. The FT4232HL is bus powered.

Since the circuit is powered through BUS power, the connection to the COM port will not be lost when the SKEVM power is removed.

The FT4232 chip is configured to operate in ‘Single chip USB to four channel UART’ mode and will take the configuration file from the external SPI EEPROM connected to it. The EEPROM (93LC46B) supports 1Mbit/s clock rate. The EEPROM is programmable in-circuit over USB using a utility program called FT_PROG available from FTDI's web site. The FT_PROG is also used for programming the board serial number for users to identify the connected COM port with board serial number when one or more boards are connected to the computer.

Note: Starting with version E2 of the SK-AM62 EVM (and all revisions of SK-AM62-P1), SoC UART0 is no longer connected for Hardware Flow Control as the CTS/RTS pins were re-purposed for other uses. Additionally, UART1 is selectable between the Expansion Connector, the FT4232 (Default) or the Wilink Bluetooth UART.
