Hello,
I have an LCDK board and would like to connect it via UART lines to a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) evaluation module.
Firstly, I connected the LCDK to a Windows PC via the UART-USB connector andI ran the uartSample example from ...\pdk_C6748_2_0_0_0\biospsp_03_00_01_00\drivers\examples\evm6748\uart, which uses "uart2". The code works well.
Then, I modified the code to use "uart1" instead of "uart2" because I don't have a driver for the UART-USB port on the BLE evaluation module. I connected the LCDK's uart1 TX, RX pins on connector J15 to the correspondent RX, TX UART pins on the BLE kit. I also connected the GND pins.
I ran the uartSample for "uart1", but it doesn't work. The BLE kit can be programmed to send a greeting message over the serial port when pressing a button. The LCDK's uart1 receives the message successfully, but its TX is always high, it doesn't seem to send any data to the BLE module.I checked this with a digital oscilloscope, I can clearly see the trace on RX, triggered by a negative slope, but TX never does down.
Note: the BLE module's UART lines are electrically compatible with the LCDK UART lines. I am using a BLE module based on a Texas Instrument BLE chip.
I am attaching my uartSample project 1018.uart1.zip.
Could someone please let me know what am I am doing wrong? Why the uart1 TX line does not send any data? The software does not notice any errors.
Thanks,
Mayela
