UART Configuration

The UART data format is fixed at 8 data bits, no parity, and one stop-bit. The UART bootloader utilizes auto detection of the baud rate (see Section 2.4.3); therefore, any baud rate below the maximum can be used.

  • Maximum UART baud rate for CC2538: 460800 baud (1)
  • Maximum UART baud rate for CC26x0 and CC26x2: 1.5 M baud
This data rate number can be doubled if an external 32 MHz crystal oscillator is in use and selected using the COMMAND_SET_XOSC bootloader command. UART communication must be re-established after calling this command (see Section 2.4.3).
