This demonstration uses the XA-SK-UART-8 MultiUART sliceCARD together with
the xSOFTip MultiUART component to create 8 UARTs. The working is shown as
follows
Data is received from a host computer over a null modem cable on the first
UART (UART 0) using the DB9 connector.
Received data is piped through the remaining 7 uarts using loopback connections
on the sliceCARD.
After data has passed through all UARTs 1 through 7, the data is then returned
back to the host computer via UART 0 and the DB9 connector.
This demo also features UART reconfiguration for a sample of standard baud rates.
1.1 Host computer setup
The following tools should be installed on the host system in order to run this
application:
For Win 7: Hercules setup utility by HW-Group
For MAC users: SecureCRT7.0
Similar tools exist for Linux users but for the purposes of this demonstartion a
Windows or OS X platform using the tools above is recommended.
1.2 Hardware setup
The following hardware components are required:
XP-SKC-L16 sliceKIT
