Introduction

This example demonstrates the UART RX and TX operation in blocking, interrupt mode of operation. This example receives 8 characters and echos back the same. The application ends when the user types 8 characters.

Supported Combinations

Parameter	Value
CPU + OS	r5fss0-0 freertos
	r5fss0-0 nortos
	m4fss0-0 nortos(As am243x-lp has no MCU UART used for console application, M4 core support excluded for am243x-lp)
Toolchain	ti-arm-clang
Boards	am243x-evm, am243x-lp
Example folder	examples/drivers/uart/uart_echo

Steps to Run the Example

• When using CCS projects to build, import the CCS project for the required combination and build it using the CCS project menu (see Using SDK with CCS Projects).
• When using makefiles to build, note the required combination and build using make command (see Using SDK with Makefiles)
• Launch a CCS debug session and run the executable, see CCS Launch, Load and Run
• Please select the UART port used for console as mentioned in Setup UART Terminal
