4.2.2.CRYSTAL CHOICE
The operating crystal frequency has been chosen to support the fastest operation with the fastest serial operating speeds. The value of the crystal is 18.432MHz.
The following table shows the baud rates and Baud Rate Register (BRR) setting required for each communication rate using the above default operating speed. It also confirms the resultant baud rate and the bit error rate that can be expected.

*Note: The device used to convert the RS232 serial information to logic signals for the microcontroller is limited to
120kBaud. The rates above this level can only be utilised if the user provides direct logic level communications.
The user may replace the HC49/U surface mounted AT cut crystal with another of similar type within the operating frequency of the microcontroller device. Please refer to the hardware manual for the microcontroller for the valid operating range.
Alternatively the user may fit an oscillator module – or provide an external clock source. When providing an oscillator module or external source it is highly recommended that the load capacitors for the AT crystal are removed from the PCB. These are physically placed within the PCB outline of the oscillator module for easy location and to ensure they are removed when using this option.
When changing the crystal frequency the

Care must be taken not to damage the tracking around these components. Only use soldering equipment designed for surface mount assembly and rework.
4.3. SPI EEPROM
The board has been tested with an Atmel
The device should be connected to P30, P31, P32 and P67 using 0R links on R15, R16, R17 and R21. Alternative connections are available, refer to section 5.3 for more information.
Do not fit the CAN transceiver if the SPI device is fitted while using the settings above.
