Can F28069 SCI-A boot support RS485(Half duplex) communication?

Hello,

we are planning to update our F28069 based equipment by using SCI-A bootloader via RS485 Half-Duplex communication.

Does SCI-A bootloader on F28069 support Half duplex communication between PC and C28x?

TMS320x2806x Piccolo Technical Reference Manual on Page 220 describes as follows,

After each data transfer, the 28x will echo back the 8-bit character received to the host. In this manner, the host can perform checks that each character was received by the 28x.

Best regards,

This is meant only if the checks have to be performed. You should be able to communicate using half duplex mode.

Dear Gautam
Do you mean if the check is not performed, the half duplex mode on F28069 SCI-A bootloader is working?
Thanks for your confirm.

Hello,

The SCI boot can be used in half duplex communication. The C28x is going to echoback what is sent once autobaud lock occurs but the host can choose not to read that echoback (or have it wired up all). Just have to be careful not to overload the C28x.
