IWRL6432BOOST: USB UART with Extra Power

Part Number: IWRL6432BOOST

Tool/software:

I am trying to communicate with the IWRL6432BOOST through USB UART. The board I'm connecting to does not have a USB port, only pins, so I plan to connect via USB UART.

Power is being supplied through a 5V 2A barrel jack, and I’m trying to receive the desired data through the J9 - XDS UART on the back. However, after connecting the pins without any specific firmware settings, there doesn’t seem to be any visible output.

```

void mmw_UartWrite (const char* format, ...)
{
UART_Transaction trans;
va_list arg;
char logMessage[512];
int32_t sizeMessage;

UART_Transaction_init(&trans);

/* Format the message: */
va_start (arg, format);
sizeMessage = vsnprintf (&logMessage[0], sizeof(logMessage), format, arg);
va_end (arg);

trans.buf = &logMessage[0U];
trans.count = sizeMessage;

UART_write(gUartHandle[0], &trans);
}

```

I’m currently outputting the data using the above method, but what modifications do I need to make to allow output through the XDS UART on the back? I’m also curious about how to receive data without using a USB connection.
