I use the serial port for debug messages without using flow control. So I want to use the CTS and RTS as GPIO.

   

I read in the API guide for CyU3PDeviceGpioOverride that " This is an override mechanism and can be used to enable any IO line as simple / complex GPIOs. This should be done with caution as a wrong setting can cause damage to hardware."

   

It also says - "if the configuration does not match the hardware configuration, it can result in unexpected behavior and hardware damage".

   

Can you please clarify with an example?
