2.8 Asynchronous Serial Interface
The TVME8240 provides two asynchronous serial interface ports used by the on board Dual UART.
Port A is a fix RS232 port.
Port B can be configured for RS232 or RS422 by an adapter card.
Both serial ports are available on DB9 male connectors on the front panel or on the VME P2
connector.
2.9 Interrupt Controller
The TVME8240 uses the MPC8240 integrated Embedded Programmable Interrupt Controller (EPIC)
in the serial mode.
The following interrupt sources are available:
