2.14 UART Interface

The four UART ports of the SOC (MCU UART0, WKUP UART0, SOC UART0 and SOC UART1) are interfaced with an FTDI Bridge FT4232HL for UART-to-USB functionality and then terminated on a USB micro-B connector (J21) on board. When the AM62P SK EVM 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. Since FT4232HL device is bus powered the connection to the COM port is not be lost when the SK EVM power is removed.

The FT4232 chip is configured to operate in ‘Single chip USB to four channel UART’ mode using the configuration file from an external SPI EEPROM connected. The EEPROM (93LC46B) supports 1 Mbit/s clockrate. 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.
