UART/SPI muxing on DM648 EVM

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MAX3223

I just want to verify the expected operation of the UART/SPI logic on the DM648 EVM.

Because of Pin Muxing, when the signal UART/SPIn is low, the MAX3223 transceiver EN# pin is high.

During this time, any incoming signal on R1In of the MAX is ignored as the R1OUT is in High-Z.

Doesn't this mean you could miss serial communications when in SPI mode?

 

If I want SPI and UART both alive it looks like I'd have to set up my pinmux register bits 13:12 to 11 and

then use GPIO or some other I/O to create the SPI chip selects.  Is this correct?
