The primary UART supports a 4-wire interface; the secondary port supports 4- wire interface except when being used with the Serial Device type, in which case it is reduced to a 2-wire only.

The primary digital UART can be used as the primary connection for the Serial device type. This type supports a 7-wire interface to allow the definition of the serial interface type (RS232/3422/485) and the data transfer direction. Definitions of this interface can be seen in Table 3.

The UART1 and UART2 interfaces support the following configurations:

BAUD: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 28800, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800, 921600

Flow Control: None, Hardware (CTS/RTS), Software (XON/XOFF)

Default settings: 9600, 8, N, 1, No Flow Control.

5.2Ethernet PHY Port

A 10/100 Ethernet PHY interface is supported when the Ethernet device type is selected in firmware. This interface is a 10/100Mbps interface that supports auto negotiation and cross-over cabling. The interface also supports both half and full duplex for 10Mbps and 100Mbps.

The interface uses a Broadcom BCM5241A Ethernet PHY, please refer to the manufacturers datasheet for interface details and appropriate design guidelines.
