3.2.7 Optional RS232 interface
In the RS232 interface variant of the IXXAT Econ 100, the signals on the
RS232 interface are on the 9-pin D-SUB connector of the second CAN con-
nection, instead of the CAN signals. The pinout for the D-SUB plug is shown in
Table 3-9.

3.2.8 SD card slot
The SD card slot is accessible on the back of the housing. An SD card with a
valid data format is essential, since the IXXAT Econ 100 is booted from the SD
card. Valid file formats are FAT16 and FAT32. SD cards with up to 32 GB
memory are supported. The SD card must contain the bootloader, the FPGA
design, the Linux kernel, and all the application software in a valid data format.
A corresponding SD card is included in the scope of delivery.
When plugged in, the SD card is completely within the housing. It can be re-
moved using a screwdriver or similar tool. To do this, the SD card must first be
carefully pushed into the housing until it stops, then released again. The SD
card holder will then push the card out of the slot far enough that it can be re-
moved by hand. Figure 3-10 shows the location of the SD card slot on the
back of the housing.
