CCS/EK-TM4C1294XL: UART6 Configuration using UARTStdioConfig

Part Number: EK-TM4C1294XL

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I have the TivaC series board EK-TM4C1294XL and i successfully programmed the UART0 using UARTStdioConfig API, but because the UART0 port is the same debugger port and because i want to communicate with external hardwares over the serial communication so I'm trying to configure the UART6 pins P0 & P1 with CCS and use same steps followed for UART0 except i have changed the addresses to UART6 & pins from Port A to Port P.

the issue now is i can't see any data on the UART6 also I discovered that the CCS UARTStdioConfig API only supports UART 0, 1, 2.

so is there any one faced similar issue or knows how this can be figured out? I'm trying to communicate using Modbus RTU / ASCII to the UART6.

    Hello Hani,

    The uartstdio API's were a utility feature designed to help a TI LaunchPad easily communicate with a UART console. As such, only UARTS 0 through 2 are supported as those are the commonly used UARTs for LaunchPad examples.

    The UART drivers with TivaWare can still support your needs, but you just won't be able to use UARTStdio API's, though if you wish it should be possible to modify them to also support other UART's.
