MCB950 User's Guide

Serial Ports

The MCB950 board connects the on-chip serial UART to the MAX3221 (IC1), which converts the logic signals to RS-232 voltage levels. The ASCO UART may be used in bootstrap mode to download other utilities for debugging or downloading flash.

The MCB950 board connects directly to a PC using a standard USB cable that provides power and emulates a COM interface for UART0.
