This is the primary Versal device PS-side UART interface. MIO42 (RX_IN) and MIO43 (TX_OUT) are connected to FTDI FT4232HL U20 USB-to-Quad-UART bridge port BD through TI SN74AVC4T245 level-shifters U18 and U271. The FT4232HL U20 port assignments are listed in the following table.
FT4232HL U34 | Versal Device U1 |
---|---|
Port AD JTAG | VEK280 JTAG chain |
Port BD UART0 | PS_UART0 (MIO 42-43) |
Port CD UART1 | PL_UART1 bank 401 |
Port DD UART2 | U20 system controller UART |
The FT4232HL UART interface connections are shown in the following figure.

Note: The FTDI configuration image can be
programmed with the Vivado tools. See the
Programming FTDI Devices for Vivado Hardware
Manager Support section in the
Vivado Design Suite User Guide:
Programming and Debugging (UG908).
Alternatively, a JTAG-SMT2 or similar from Digilent is
recommended.
The detailed device connections for the feature described in this section are documented in the VEK280 board XDC file, referenced in Xilinx Design Constraints.
