6.4. Serial port
The microcontroller programming serial port 1 is connected to the RS232 transceiver. This serial port can optionally be connected to the
RS232 transceiver as well by fitting option resistors. The connections to be fitted are listed in the table 6-3.

A Secondary serial port is connected to the application headers. This is shared with the LIN module.
6.5. LCD Module
A LCD module is supplied to be connected to the connector J8. This should be fitted so that the LCD module lies over J1. Care should be
taken to ensure the pins are inserted correctly into J8.The LCD module uses a 4 bit interface to reduce the pin allocation. No contrast
control is provided; this is set by a resistor on the supplied display module. The module supplied with the RSK only supports 5V operation.
Table 6-4 shows the pin allocation and signal names used on this connector.
