5.3Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)

Please refer to section 7.0 for details on this interface.

5.4Debug/Console Port

A debug/console port is supported by a 2-wire serial interface defined in Table 3. This port is a bidirectional serial port intended for debug of the unit only, it does not support data transfer.

It is recommended that a connection to this port be supported via test points or a two pin header. The default settings for the debug port are 115200, 8, N 1, No Flow Control.

CAUTION: Do not use the debug port without contacting Quatech Technical Support first. Potential damage to the module may occur.

5.5General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)

A number of the interface pins support multiple functional definitions. Those defined as alternately GPIO pins can be selected as such via device firmware.

The GPIO pins are digital I/O capable of supporting up to a 16mA drive current at 3.3VDC.
