UART COM10 Interface
The A14C provides an additional, LVTTL-level, UART interface controlled by the
FPGA accessible via rear I/O on connector P2.
The UART port is compatible with MEN’s SA-Adapter standard, which offers a
selection of different physical interfaces from RS232 to RS485. You can use SA-
Adapters on a suitable transition module. Please
contact MEN’s sales team
if you
have special needs.
For the pin assignment please see
Table 30, Pin assignment of VMEbus rear I/O
connector P2 – FPGA I/O signals, on page 80
.
Please note that PMC I/O signals are directly connected to connector P2. If you
use COM10 I/O signals via P2, you must make sure that these signals do not
interfere with PMC I/O signals, since this may cause damage to the CPU
board.
See
Chapter 2.16.16.1 Rear I/O using VMEbus P2 on page 77
for more
details and for pin assignments of P2.
