  2.   A UART Connection
    1.     A.1 UART Connection

7.2 Target Connection

Connection to the target device is via UART interface. The user should configure the COM port number and the baud rate. Currently, no automatic detection of COM port is supported and the baud rate supported is 921,600 only.

The COM port number needs to be fetched from the 'Windows Device Manager'. Idially, all FTDI chipsets on the evaluation boards are pre-flashed. However, FTDI chipsets that are not flashed for some reason, can still be used as Uniflash requires a simple COM port.

Table 1 describes all possible permutations:

Table 1. Missing Title

Evaluation Board FTDI #COM Ports #COM Port for Flashing
CC3200 LaunchPad Pre-flashed FTDI 1 The only COM port exposed
CC3200 LaunchPad Non flashed FTDI 2 The upper COM port
CC3100 BoosterPack Pre-flashed FTDI 2 The lower COM port
CC3100 BoosterPack Non flashed FTDI 4 The 3rd COM port

In addition, the CC3200 LaunchPad can be made to work in two modes: functional mode and UART load mode.

UART load mode is to be used when flashing the device. This mode is selected by connecting "SOP2" jumper on J15 (denotes on PCB as '100:FLASH').
