LAUNCHXL-F28P65X: Issue with LAUNCHXL-F28P65X USB-UART Output

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-F28P65X

Dear TI Support Team,

I recently purchased the LAUNCHXL-F28P65X and am using it for the first time. 
I built and ran the provided example sci_ex1_loopback, but nothing is being output through my USB-UART connection.

My current configuration is as follows :
S2 switch: SEL1 = 0 (DOWN), SEL2 = 1 (UP)
Code settings: SCI-RX = GPIO43, SCI-TX = GPIO42

Could you please advise me on what might be missing or misconfigured?

Thank you for your support.

  • Hi SJ,

    The switch configuration looks correct. For the example, please ensure you are using the LAUNCHXL build configuration as that will use the device.h definitions for the LAUNCHXL-F28P65X board. In addition, when using the loopback, please sure you are connecting to the COM port associated with the UART, since there are 2 ports occupied by the XDS, you may be selecting the incorrect one

    Regards,

  • Hi Perter Luong1

    I have connected both UART ports, but no messages are being displayed.

    Could you advise what might be incorrect in my setup?

  • Hi SJ,

    How are you connecting to the COM port? Are you using external program like Putty or the built-in COM port in CCS. Please provide screenshots of your setup including the Device Manger screen showing the connected COM ports

    Regards,
