User Manual
2.6  Serial Interface
The UT699RH ASIC, provides a single Serial port, with TXD/RXD pins, and the GR-UT699
board  provides   an  RS232   driver/receiver   chip  and  routes  these  signals   to   a  front   panel
connector. 
The front panel connector type for the UART interface is Female D-Sub 9 pin type with a
standard pin-out for serial links.
2.7  Debug Support Unit (DSU) Serial Interface
The GR-UT699 unit provides a interface for Debug and control of the processor by means of
a host terminal via the DSU serial link to the UT699 ASIC, as represented in Figure 2-8.
The board provides two possibilities for connecting to the processor's DSU interface:
1. USB MiniAB connector with USB to Serial interface chip
2. JTAG DSU interface
The baud rate of the serial link is specified by the host computer, and the DSU interface in
the UT699 ASIC auto-detects and adjusts its baud rate to suit.
The  DSUENable  signal  input  to the  processor  is connected  to a  jumper  on the  PCB.  In
