Part Number: MSP432E401Y
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSCONFIG

Hello!  Can someone explain the key differences between the UART and UART2 configuration options in .syscfg?  Are there a few main advantages/features? Thank-you.

    Hello Tim,

    Here is the description for both in sysconfig. 

    UART Driver

    UART2 Driver

    I don't really know the exact pros/cons of each, but I see that Sys Config says that UART2 is and improved version of the UART driver.  Looking at the documentation, it seems like it's mainly been simplified and removed a couple operating modes, such as Echo and Test/binary mode.  

    I guess if you are starting a new project, I would just use the UART2 driver.  

    Thanks,

    JD
