Serial Port

The MCB2103 board connects the on-chip serial UART to the MAX3221 (IC1) which converts the logic signals to RS-232 voltage levels. The UART may be used in bootstrap mode to download other utilities for debugging or downloading flash.

In addition to the standard 3-wire interface, the COM0 DB9 connector is wired to allow a board RESET via the DTR pin, and to enable In-System Programming (ISP) via the RTS pin as shown in the figure below.
