Description

On the UART documentation page, there is a note:

REPL over UART is disabled by default. You can see the Getting started with MicroPython on the RP2xxx for details on how to enable REPL over UART.

If you follow the link to the "getting started" page (https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/rp2/tutorial/intro.html#rp2-intro), it just says:

Getting started with MicroPython on the RP2xxx
Let’s get started!

I can't seem to find any instructions for accessing the REPL over UART (i.e. which UART pins, and how to configure Micropython).

Code of Conduct

Yes, I agree

cc3200: UART REPL is broken

closedby pfalconopened 2016-12-26updated 2016-12-29

As 1c7f9b16f0037cf3ca206de1f464d8237587ded7 says, UART REPL was deliberately "disabled" in cc3200 port. But it's actually not even disabled, it's not supported - grep for MICROPY_STDIO_UART finds it only in cc3200/boards/LAUNCHXL/mpconfigboard.h.

This of course makes initial start with the port, and development/testing unduly complicated. Support for serial REPL should be restored and it should be the default.
