Serial Ports
The SoM-200 pin specification has the provision for 4 serial ports. However, the ATSAMA5D36 provides 6
serial ports. The additional serial ports are accommodated through the use of alternate SoM pins. COMB
(Debug port) is normally the console port. The ATSAMA5D36 processor does not provide full modem
handshaking for COMA as called for in the SoM-200 pin specification, therefore EMAC has utilized
processor GPIO lines for this function. The RTS lines for each port can be used to achieve automatic RS485
direction control.
