Getting started with your APOLLO
Issue G
19
Using the serial interfaces (RS232/RS485/IrDA)
The four serial port interfaces on the APOLLO are fully PC compatible:
•
COM1 and COM2 are decoded at standard PC address locations. PC applications
can use these ports without any special configuration.
•
COM3 and COM4 are interfaced via a PCI based dual UART. The Windows and
Linux drivers provided on the APOLLO CD allow for the configuration of these
devices as standard serial ports.
The BIOS setup screens are used to configure the operation of each of the serial ports.
Connections to COM1 and COM2 are via standard DB9 connectors. COM3 and COM4
are interfaced via a 10-way boxed header. The pin assignment of these headers is
arranged to enable a 9-way IDC D-Type plug to be connected directly to pins 1-9 on the
cable. The D-type connector is compatible with the standard 9-way connector on a
desktop machine. A suitable cable is provided in the development kit.

for further details about the serial port interface, and page
for pin details.
Connecting a printer
An enhanced printer port is incorporated into the APOLLO. This port can be used to
support a Centronics-compatible printer or ECP/EPP bi-directional device. The port
signals are routed to directly to a female DB25 connector. This socket is compatible with
a standard printer port connector on a desktop machine.

for pin details.
Using the audio features
The APOLLO provides an AC97 audio codec that supports standard line in, line out, mic
in functionality, or alternatively can be configured in software to support the 5.1 speaker
output format. The audio outputs are made available through board-mounted 3.5mm
stereo jacks. Interfaces are also available to support an optical S/PDIF (Sony Philips
Digital Interface) connector and CD audio input.

for further details.
Using the flat panel interface
The APOLLO provides a dual channel LVDS LCD display header that can be used to
directly interface to LVDS LCD displays up to a maximum resolution of 1600x1200. The
display type is selected from the PhoenixBIOS Intel IGD video setup menu. See
