C6747 UART 1 Tx - Pull up Required?

We have daisy chained the UART 1's of several DSP's together. That is, Tx of one DSP to the Rx  of another. There is a 22 ohm resistor between each but I would like to know if a pull up is needed?

 

Thanks,

  • The pull up is necessary only if you want to avoid a possible null character transmission out of reset. Since the pins are all weakly pulled down internally during reset, the receiving device might detect that as a null character. If the DSP UARTs won't be enabled until after reset then this shouldnt be an issue.
