PROCESSOR-SDK-AM437X: Sending board to layout... uart1 data enable on gpio?

Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-AM437X

We have run out of pins and are planning on setting up 3 wire UART1 with data enable on a gpio pin.  I seem to remember reading forum articles that talked about supporting this, but I am not finding them now.  Can anyone tell me if this is going to work and point me to some documentation?

  • Hi James,

    Yes, UART data pins (i.e. K21 uart1_rxd) can be muxmode to GPIO (i.e. gpio0_14). You can use the pinmux tool, please refer below user guide for details:
