Hello,
I do not want UART port to be working/enabled on my MSP430FR2475. Is there a particular way to close the UART port, or do I just not call any 'Init UART' routines?
Warm regards,
Samyukta

Hello Samyukta,
As Bruce mentioned, the UART will only run with the application software configures it.
There may be a UART BSL available for updating via a invoke sequence. Is this possibly what you are wanting to disable? Are you trying to disable BSL for security purposes?
Thanks,
JD
I have actually disabled the BSL... but I figure the UART pins which use the same SBW pins (which are also disabled) will still be functional. And yes want to disable the UART/BSL for security purposes.
I see. This is basically done in our Init_UART routine, so the idea would be to not call it at all.
Yes, just don't call it.
The second "firewall" is the alternate function (PSEL) setting -- if the PSEL bits for the UART pins aren't set appropriately (also typically done in an Init_UART function) the eUSCI can't reach the pins even if it is operating.
Yes, outside of the BSL, the UART cannot be operational without the application code specifically initializing it and configuring the GPIO pin mux for it, as Bruce said.
