Uart-Over-USB [J43_CP] [J44_CP] with LED for Status [LD10_CP] [LD11_CP]

Five UART ports of the processor are interfaced with the UART-over-USB transceiver(s). When the EVM’sUSB micro-B connectors [J43] and/or [J44] are connected to a Host-PC using supplied USB cable (Type-A to Micro-B), the computer can establish Virtual Com Port(s) to be used with any terminal application. Virtual Com Port drivers for the transceiver(s) can be obtained from:

https://www.ftdichip.com/Products/ICs/FT2232H.html

https://www.ftdichip.com/Products/ICs/FT4232H.html

Once installed, the Host-PC will create the Virtual Com Ports (two ports for FT2232, 4 ports for FT4232). Depending on the other Host-PC resources available, the Com Ports may not be located at COM1-2 and/or COM1-4. However, they will remain in the same numerical order for each transceiver.

The circuit(s) are powered from USB bus power and therefore the COM connection will not be lost when the EVM power is removed. LED(s) [LD11] [LD10] are used to indicate an active COM connection with Host-PC.

The EEPROM of FTDI bridges are programmed with the CPB serial number, users to identify the connected COM port with board serial number when one or more boards connected to the computer.

Note: The maximum length for the IO cables should not exceed three meters.
