USB-UART B
If you need to use more than one USB-UART in your application, you have another
USB-UART B connector available on the board too. Both available USB-UART modules
can operate at the same time, because they are routed to separate microcontroller
pins.
USB-UART B communication is being done through a FT232RL controller, USB
connector (CN23), and microcontroller UART module. To establish this connection,
you must connect RX and TX lines of the microcontroller to the appropriate input
and output pins of the FT232RL. This selection is done using DIP switches SW12.3
and SW12.4.
When using either USB-UART A or USB-UART B, make sure to disconnect all devices
and additional boards that could interfere with the signals and possibly corrupt the
sent or received data.
