Hardware Description

3.20UART interface

Three UARTs (SER0, SER1, and SER2) are provided by the ARM926EJ-S PXP

Development Chip.

A fourth serial interface, SER3, is implemented with a PrimeCell UART incorporated into the system controller FPGA.

The three UARTs provided by the ARM926EJ-S PXP Development Chip have the following features:

functionally similar to standard 16C550 devices

port function corresponds to the DTE configuration

SER0 (UART0) has full CTS, RTS, DCD, DSR, DTR, and RI modem control signals

SER1 and SER2 (UART1 and UART2) have simple modem control signals CTS and RTS

programmable baud rates of up to 1.5Mbits per second (the line drivers however, are only guaranteed to 250kbps)

16-byte transmit FIFO

16-byte receive FIFO

programmable interrupt.

Signals from UART0, UART1, and UART2 are also connected to the expansion connector for the optional RealView Logic Tile. UART0 has two IrDA signals that are connected to the RealView Logic Tile expansion headers: SIROUT0 and SIRIN0. There is no IrDA interface logic on the PB926EJ-S itself.
