4.4 Connecting to SBC347A
To interact with onboard firmware requires the SBC347A to have connected, as a
minimum, a video display (video graphics array, (VGA)) and a USB keyboard.
Ethernet and terminal (COM1) connections may also be required, depending on
Operating System requirements. These ports are accessed through the backplane
pins, using a Rear Transition Module (RTM).
COM1 is configured as Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) with default settings of
115200 baud, 8 bits/character, 1 stop bit, parity disabled and no flow control.
4.4.1 Rear Transition Module
For development systems, connection to the board I/O can be achieved using an
RTM. This converts the condensed pinout of the backplane connectors to pinouts
suitable for use by industry standard connectors.
CAUTION
The I/O types available at the RTM connectors depend on the variant of the SBC347A and RTM. Ensure
that each interface is available before connecting anything to the RTM.
