8.8. LIN Interface and Network (J17, J26, TB1)
Both MCUs on the target board are connected to LIN transceivers through headers. These headers assume that
the MCU's crossbars are configured to put the LIN TX and RX pins on port pins P1.0 and P1.1 respectively. See
the C8051F58x/59x data sheet for crossbar configuration. The C8051F580 (Side A) is connected to the T1
transceiver through the J17 header and the C8051F582 (Side B) is connected to the T2 transceiver through the
J26 header. The two LIN transceivers are connected to each other and form a LIN network. Other external devices
can be connected to the LIN network through the TB1 interface. The TB1 interface also provides the option for
connecting an external power source so that all LIN transceivers can use the same source voltage. This source
voltage can also be used to power the target board. If an external voltage source is not provided, the LIN
transceivers use the 12V provided through the P4 power adapter connector. See Section 8.2. for more power
option details. The shorting block positions for connecting the MCUs to the LIN transceivers are listed in Table 6.
The pin connections for the external LIN devices are listed in Table 7.

8.9. Port I/O Connectors (J1-J5 and J27-J29)
Each of the parallel ports of the C8051F580 (Side A) and C8051F582 (Side B) has its own 10-pin header
connector. Each connector provides a pin for the corresponding port pins 0-7, +5V VIO, and digital ground. The
same pin-out is used for all of the port connectors.
