XTAG-2 sliceCARD
XP-SKC-L16 sliceKIT core board has four slots with edge conectors:
SQUARE
,
CIRCLE
,
TRIANGLE
and
STAR
, and one chain connector marked with a
CROSS
.
To setup up the system refer to the figure and instructions below.

Set up the MultiUART sliceCARD
Figure 1:
Setting up
the loopback
jumpers
The demo shows the transfer of characters accross all 8 uarts by looping them all
back. Data will be received (RX) from the host computer on UART 0 (pins 0 and 1
of the header on the sliceCARD), transmitted through the remaining 7 uarts and
then the result of that is sent back to the host via UART 0 TX.
You will need seven 2-pin jumpers, which should be placed on header J4 (the one
nearest the DB9 connector and labelled “RS-232”) of the sliceCARD, on all the rows
numbered 1 through 7 on the sliceCARD. The table below denotes the header pin
connections made by the jumpers placed in the figure.
