SK-AM62P-LP: Need inputs on configuring and enabling the UART5 AM625

Babuji Namburi

Part Number: SK-AM62P-LP

Tool/software:

In our current project, we are planning to use the UART5 on AM625P, could you please suggest us how to enable and configure it, we observed it's on A53 Core, can we use it on R5 core.

Could you please share the PIN configuration and Linux configurations of UART5.

Hi Babuji,

In a multicore processor, only one core, ie one s/w instance, should control a peripheral. So, if the R5 core is using a peripheral, that peripheral must be disabled in Linux’s device tree to prevent the A53 core (Linux) from initializing or conflicting with it.

Please go through the AM62Px academy (Multicore > Peripherals > How to allocate peripherals) for more info - https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=A__AcGdexDmDxV8k7XSDZd.4w__AM62P-ACADEMY__fp5YxRM__LATEST

Johnson
