Honored ContributorHi,
You must connect the uart pins to HSMC Bank pins. I solved this problem like this: * Adding in pin planner: o HC_UART_TXD PIN_H17 o HC_UART_RXD PIN_E18 * and, because these pins are used for configuring the fpga, you must change the device settings: o ActiveParallel and remote (I don't know if this is necessary, but I did like this) o Dual-port pins: all as Standard IO except clk Uart pins must be connected to H17 and E18 that are the pins of the HSCM bank. I hope this works for you.
