3.3.4.3 UART Interface

Four UART ports of the SoC are interfaced with FT4232H for UART-to-USB functionality, and terminated on a micro B connector (J42) provided on the processor card. When the AM65x IDK is connected to a host using the provided USB cable, the computer 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.

Of the four UART ports of FT4232H, three are multiplexed; one with the application connector and the other two with test headers (J11 and J30). The control logic is given in Table 3-20.
