serial0



-- RTS0/RTR0



-- CTS0/ENRX0



-- TXD0



-- RXD0



serial1



-- RTS1/RTR1



-- CTS1/ENRX1



-- TXD1



-- RXD1



I presume serial1 us the default console. (read it somewhere, am correct?)


The cpu pinout:



R8822: PQFP



pin desc



001 RXD0/PIO23
002 TXD0/PIO22
003 RTS0/RTR0/PIO20
100 CTS0/ENRX0/PIO21


098 TXD1/PIO27



099 RXD1/PIO28
062 PCS3/RTS1/RTR1/PIO19
063 PCS2/CTS1/ENRX1/PIO18

Now is this as straightforward as it looks? Do I just connect as follows?


9pin serial --> cpu
3 TxD --> 099 rxd1
2 RxD --> 098 txd1
7 RTS --> 063 cts
8 CTS --> 062 rts (I dont even know what to cross for rs232, or do I?!)

Well, theres and LQFP diagram with a different pinout. What's that about?



The exact codes on the chip: RDC R8822



0322-D-QF
6U-FGSNP

I read that I can just send a ^C to the console during bootup to interrup the process.



Since I have only worked with PC's in the past, I would greatly value an advice/hints/info/directions you could give me for gaining access to th box console so I can see how it works and maybe add something useful!



Thanks so much...

It seems that you need level shifting buffers between the processor chip and the 9 pin connector. The RS-232 signal levels are different from the logic levels, and the polarity is usually inverted.

Google for 'RS-232 buffer chips'.
