Tool/software: Code Composer Studio
Hello Forum,
I am a complete beginner to Launchpad development and am struggling to establish UART communications with my XL2-TMS570LS12 via the SCI pins on the board. I previously wrote a CCS program to read to the terminal via USB successfully, but it's clear that I must make adjustments to my code to read via the pins. I am using a UM230XB breakout board with the standard RX/TX/GND jumpers plugged into my USB port.
In HCG, I have enabled both SCI and SCI2, as well as the GIO driver. I'm also done the standard VIM13 enable and have set RX in both SCI and SCI2 (because I'm not sure which one I will be using) to on. I have not set LIN RX to enabled.
In CCS I've tried to sciSEND strings to the terminal using sciREG and scilinREG both, after reading through the sci.h files. I have my jumpers plugged into Pins J2-3 (SciRX) J2-4 (SciTX), and J3-2 (GND).
When I plug in the breakout to my computer it selects port COM5 and lists it as a "USB serial port" rather than the normal "UART interface" listing.
I'm assuming there's something very basic I am missing here in order to read to the terminal. I apologize for the newbie question, and would be very grateful if someone were able to direct me to the proper documentation that can answer these kinds of questions in the future.
Many thanks!
