LEDs. UART/RS-232/RS-485 RS-232 and RS-485 standards are supported on the ConnectCore MP15 Development Board, by sharing one CPU UART port (UART7). This means that only one of the two protocols can be use at a time. Selection between both is done through three three-position headers (J15, J16 and J17).
USART3. USB Host The ConnectCore MP15 Development Board offers support for four USB Host interfaces. Two of them are available over a stackable dual USB A-type connector. The third USB Host is connected to the PCI Express Mini card connector. The fourth is connected to the XBee socket as well as to a a 6-pin, 1.25 mm pitch expansion connector (J40).
