Hello Ihab,

We do not currently have an example firmware which will output data through the UART while the internal M0 is running. If you have already gotten access to the PGA900 datasheet through the mysecure site, there will be some example firmware uploaded there by the end of the day. This example firmware is fairly limited and only includes shell functions for most things, but it is a starting point.

Please note that our current support for firmware development or algorithm requests on the forum for PGA900 is limited to the collateral available on the product page. Please see the following post for more details: https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/1023/t/802433
