Hi support team.

There is a USB to UART port on IWR6843ISK-ODS EVM, I wonder if this port can be use for firmware burning through UniFlash 5.2.0? Is there some guideline or user's guide available?

Furthermore, there are 4 UART ports in 6843 soc, RS232_TX/RX, MSS_UARTA,MSS_UARTB,BSS_UART. Could you help explain the differences between them? There is no detailed information found in the 6843 datasheet.

Yes, you need to install the CP2105 usb-UART driver. You can follow the example in the link below for setup and OOB demo

for the demo reference above, the RS232_TX/RX is used to configure the device and the data is sent via the MSS_logger pin.
