UART Boot Port

Post by svobodacegelec »

For the module MOD54417-200IR I need to use 2 CANs, I2C and dedicated UART with RTS/CTS.
So I did not find any pin multiplexing solution where UART0 pins could be use as system UART to enter the monitor.
It is possible to redirect Monitor boot UART to another free UART? If yes how?

You can use the IPSetup tool and select Advanced to change the Monitor Port. Or you can go into the monitor and select Setup to change the boot port. And then a 3rd way is to change the config record from within your application. I've only switched between UART 0 and 1, I don't know if you can use the others or not.

The boot monitor does not support that. But if in your app you want to make that a 'debug' port, you can open it and send status messages.

Yes presently only 0,1 are available in the monitor for the boot port.
