#Port_P2
Connecting to Maintenance Port P2
Note that while the singalling levels of Maintenance Port P2 follow the EIA-232 standard, the connector pinout does not (the TX and RX signals would need to be swapped for use with standard EIA-232 cables). This change is intentional to remind developers that this port is not for application use.
If you are directed to use port P2 when working with Eurotech staff, use a DB9 gender changer or custom cable to connect to it. |

Correction: EIA-422 is Default (not IrDA)
On page 18 of the user manual (110122-3001C), within the IrDA section, the manual states -
"The Super I/O Controller UART2 implements the IrDA function on U35, page 57 or an EIA-422 serial port on header J40, page 49. The discrete I/O IRDA_SEL selects one of the two capabilities. For further details, see System I/O, page 21. Standard Catalyst XL Development Kits default to the IrDA interface."
The final sentence of this paragraph should read, "Standard Catalyst XL Development Kits default to the EIA-422 serial port on header J40." |
