On the 8M Plus, the pin configurator show twice as many available pins for the UART signals then the pin mux table in the reference manual does. So, which one is right and if the pin configurator is correct, then what are the ALT modes for the other pins that are not shown in the reference manual pin mux table?
Look at UART4 uart_rx as an example.
I don't believe it is tool issue or document issue.
Because it is daisy input for those pins.
This is definition from BSP. Please note, the 0x600 address of daisy input register.
linux-imx/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mp-pinfunc.h
#define MX8MP_IOMUXC_UART4_RXD__UART4_DCE_RX 0x238 0x498 0x600 0x0 0x8
#define MX8MP_IOMUXC_UART4_RXD__UART4_DTE_TX 0x238 0x498 0x000 0x0 0x0
Hi, Robby,
We double checked with the tool owner, here is the feedback.
The UART that I.MX8M Plus used can support both DTE and DCE modes, where the RX and TX signals can be intermixed, see the picture below.
When user is doing the pin selection, the UART mode configuration will also be chosen in DTS file, so the "doubled" option is correct.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Frank Liu
