DM814x UARTx_RXD swing between 0.8V~3.3V

Hi ,

My customer use USB-UART cable to test the UART1(AG2,AF4) UART2(L25,N23)

They find that the TXD is OK but the RXD has issue.

By measuring the signals, they found the RXD swing between 0.8~3.3V, which is out of spec.

They have checked the pinmux(aslo the PU/PD setting) .

Could you give some advice on this issue?

    Are you trying to use different UART (UART1/2) for console than the default one (UART0)? IF yes, refer to the below wiki pages:

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TI81xx_PSP_Porting_Guide#Using_different_UART_than_the_default_EVM_configuration_as_console

    UART1_RXD signal can be selected in 2 device pins: F27 and AF24. Make sure you are not selecting UART1_RXD input on both pins. The DM814x device does not support selecting input signals on more than one pin.

  • Thanks Pavel.

    The root cause was there are some HW design issues on PCB. After fixing those issues, UART behavior came back to normal.

    Your suggestion is very helpful.
