•
JTAG for Code Composer Studio™ (CCS) connectivity
•
UART1 for flashing the onboard serial flash, downloading FW through Radar Studio, and getting
application data sent through the UART
•
MSS logger UART (can be used to get MSS code logs on the PC)
When the USB is connected to the PC, the device manager should recognize the following COM ports,
shown in
