2.9. SERIAL PORTS
Four full function serial ports are provided on the board for asynchronous serial
communications. They are 16C550 high-speed UART compatible and support 16-byte FIFO
buffers for transfer rates from 50bps to 115Kbps.
Each serial port is specified as follows:
Designation Communication Mode Output Path
Serial Port 1 RS-232 Front Plate DB-9, cPCI J5
Serial Port 2 RS-232 cPCI J5
Serial Port 3 RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 cPCI J3
Serial Port 4 RS-232 cPCI J3
Serial Port 3 Infrared cPCI-J3
UART registers are individually addressable and fully programmable.
2.9.1 SERIAL PORT 1
Serial Port 1 is buffered directly for RS-232 operation. Signals include the complete signal set
for handshaking, modem control, interrupt generation, and data transfer. When assigned as
Serial Port 1, the port is 100% compatible with the IBM-AT serial port in RS-232 mode.
Signal Path
Serial Port 1 signal path depends on the output configuration you have ordered for the
board

2.9.1.1. Remote Reset
A remote hardware reset of the cPCI-MXS64 is possible by sending a break on the Serial Port
1 or Serial Port 2 (see Section 3.1 for Remote Reset jumper setting). A break is simple an
abnormally long start bit (100ms or more) on the incoming data line. A break signal is
embedded in the data, so no special wire is required.
