Signals[edit | edit source]

The following table describes the interface signals:

Pin# SOM Pin# Pin name Pin function Pin Notes
1 J18.87 N.A. Transmit line
2 J18.89 RS232_RX Receive line
3 - 3V3_CB Power output This pin can be used to power an RS232 transceiver
4 - DGND Ground

Device mapping[edit | edit source]

USART1 is mapped to /dev/ttyxxx device in Linux. The peripheral is used as the default serial console, both for the bootloader and the kernel.

Device usage[edit | edit source]

To connect to the debug serial port:

  1. connect the UART to USB transceiver to J2 connector
  2. start your favorite terminal emulator software on PC (eg: PuTTY); communication parameters are: 115200,N,8,1
