Debug Serial Port

Athree-wire debug serial RS-232 port (TXD, RXD, GND) is available on the 2mm, 20-pin right- angle header (J1) located on the primary side of the PrPMC800/800ET. Refer to Figure 2-3for pin definitions. An optional J1-to-DB9 adapter cable is available from Motorola. Contact your local Motorola Sales Office or Distributor for more information or to order cable part number: PrPMC-CABLE-001. The pinout description for this cable is defined in Debug Serial Port Cable on page 38.

The debug port may be used for connecting a terminal to the PrPMC800/800ET to serve as the firmware console for the factory installed debugger, PPCBug. The port is configured as follows:

8 bits per character

1 stop bit per character

Parity disabled (no parity)

Baud rate = 9600 baud (default baud rate at power-up)

After power-up, the baud rate of the debug port can be reconfigured by using the debugger’s Port Format (PF) command. Refer to Chapter 5, PPCBug and Chapter 6, Modifying the Environment for information about PPCBug.
