TMS570LS3137: Can SCI module used as a UART Module

Part Number: TMS570LS3137
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PROFIBUS, , HALCOGEN

Hello,

Is it possbile to use SCI module as an UART module in TMS570LS3137 MCU? If it is possible, is there any configuration for that? And After that the UART module can be implemented as a Profibus protocol.

Thank you very much?

    Hello,

    SCI and UART are just different terms, but they do the same thing. Transmitting and receiving SCIs must be set for the same baudrate, character length, parity, and stop bits for proper operation. The receiving SCI may detect some mismatched settings and set a "framing error" flag bit.

    HALCoGen provides a GUI for configuring the SCI module, it also has example of using this module to display text or number on terminal.

    The SCI can be connected to Profibus physical bus through a RS-485 transceiver. The TMS570LS3137 doesn't have built-in PROFIBUS functionality.
