2.10.1 UART Bootloader

On AM13E230x devices, UART is configured by the device ROM code to the following default configurations:

Table 2-17 Default UART Pins
UART Signal Device Signal Name Pin Name GPIO # Mux Mode
UART RX UC4_RX_SCL_SCLK PA1 GPIO1 7
UART TX UC4_TX_SDA_PICO PA0 GPIO0 7
  • Baud Rate: 9600

Having these signals available on a header can aid in debugging a prototype system and make sure that the device is booting properly at power-on. For these reasons, it is highly recommended that this UART interface is accessible on the PCB system.
