The FTDI bridge device provides both XDS100V2 JTAG emulation and UART Console over the USB. The connector on the board, J19, is a USB Micro-AB connector but it only operates in device (slave) mode with the FTDI bridge device. The ESD device implemented on this USB port to the FTDI bridge is the TPD2E001. Refer to Section 2.3.4 for more details on this functionality.
The FTDI USB device is implemented so that it operates from the VBUS power provided over the USB cable. This allows the FTDI device to remain fully operational during an AM571x IDK EVM power cycle. This in turn allows the console port to the PC to remain active to allow logging from the serial port immediately as the AM5718 device boots. It also provides faster re-connect for the XDS100V2 JTAG emulator.
