Leave open for RS232 or 4-wire mode. Install for 2-wire mode. Serial Port 2 Breakout Header JP13 Install jumpers to connect xPico Serial Port 2 TX/RX and configurable pins to the RS232 transceiver for Serial Port 2. 3.3V Power Header JP14 Provides access to the internal 3.3V power rail.
The evaluation board has one multiprotocol RS-232/RS422/RS485 port and one RS232 port for connection to the xPico internal UARTs. The ports are DB9 type connectors labeled J3 and J4. Included with the kit is a DB9-to-DB9 null modem cable (Lantronix P/N 500-164-R).
JP13 serial port signal connections. Install jumper or remove as needed for desired function. In addition, the first serial port on the xPico module can be connected to either the DB9 serial port on J3 or to the USB on J5 via the on board USB-to-serial converter. Jumpers JP8 and JP9 allow for the selection of sending the J3 DB9 or J5 USB-to-Serial Port 1.
