Serial Interface
The Vortex CPU contains the circuitry for all four serial ports. The CoreModule 435 provides serial ports 1
and 2 through transceivers U7 and U9 (headers J3 and J9), serial port 3 through transceiver U4 (header J14)
and serial port 4 through transceiver U5 (header J13). The serial ports support the following features:
•
Programmable word length, stop bits and parity
•
16-bit programmable baud rate generator
•
Interrupt generator
•
Loop-back mode
•
16-bit FIFOs for each port
•
Ports 1, 2, 3, and 4 are supported by the Vortex processor and are 16C550/16C552 compatible
♦
Serial 1 (J3, COM1) supports RS-232/RS-485 with full modem operation
♦
Serial 2 (J9, COM2) supports RS-232/RS-485 with full modem operation
♦
Serial 3 (J14, COM3) supports RS-232 with full modem operation
♦
Serial 4 (J13, COM4) supports RS-232 with full modem operation
To implement the two-wire RS-485 mode on either serial port, you must tie together the equivalent pins for
the selected port.

NOTE
The RS-232/RS-485 modes for Serial Port 1 (COM1) and Serial Port 2 (COM2)
are selected in BIOS Setup Utility. However, the RS-232 mode is the default
(Standard) for any serial port.
RS-485 mode termination is selected with jumper JP2 Serial 1 (COM1) and JP1
Serial 2 (COM2) on the module. Refer to
for more information.
