JP2 - Group base address selection
The JP2 jumper is used to set the I/O base address for the serial ports. The default
jumper settings configure all of the serial ports at a 64-byte contiguous I/O space from
this address location.
The base address is always decoded to a 16-byte boundary. Fitting the link sets the
address line to zero for the decode. Leaving the link off means that the corresponding
address line must be a logic ‘1’ to select the board.
JP2
Line
Function when fitted
A9
Sets A9 in I/O address decode to 0
A8
Sets A8 in I/O address decode to 0
A7
Sets A7 in I/O address decode to 0
A6
Sets A6 in I/O address decode to 0
A5
Sets A5 in I/O address decode to 0
A4
Sets A4 in I/O address decode to 0
The default base address is 0x100, to avoid conflicts with common PC I/O maps.
In order to achieve this fit all links apart from A8. Check your system I/O map for
conflicts before use.
