7.2 UART

On all AM26x devices, UART0 is configured by the device ROM code to 115200 kbaud, 8-n-1 mode, and uses the XMODEM protocol to transfer boot data when the AM26x is placed in UART Boot Mode.

Route out the UART0_RX and UART0_TX signals to accessible headers for connecting a UART to USB bridge to access boot data and check AM26x MCU health at system bring-up. This can aid in debugging a prototype system and make sure that the AM26x device is booting properly at power-on.
