TIDM-1000: UART communication in CCS 12.3

Part Number: TIDM-1000

Hii

I am using the tidm 1000 customized board  for power factor correction application .I want to use the UART communication to communicate with our customized board .

So in target configuration file i have  selected the UART communication . And added the com port and baud rate also.

But when i try to check the test connection then test connection button is disable i can't check the test connection.

Please guide me how can I check the connection with UART in CCS 12.3

Thank you

Annu

  • Hi Annu,

    Thanks for your quesiton. You must change your "Connection" in the top left to be the correct JTAG debug probe for your device board. That is what is being checked in the "Test Connection" section.

    You can keep the Uart Communication in the "Alternate Communication" section. That will be what the JTAG allows through to the SCI/UART peripheral. You will have to configure that in the configuration application code (just in your normal code).

  • Hii Vince

    I want to use the UART communication for code loading not JTAG debug probe .

    For that I have selected the UART communication  in provided connection bar, My Question is how can I verify the uart communication is establish between my broad and UART.

    I try to verify with test connection, But test connection is disable when i have selected the UART communication 

    please guide me .

    Thanks

  • Hi Annu,

    I do not think we support direct UART loading without a different bootloader. The Launch configuration you are showing is meant to be used for JTAG probes, so the "TEST" button you are pressing is for that, not for UART comms check.

    I will reach out to the bootloader expert, but I think this is not possible to do a one-button test of the UART comms without actually running the bootloader fully. Will let them confirm.
