Due to the slot-dependency, it is necessary to re-configure the software driver once
the board is plugged in different PCI slots.
Up to 4 Smartio C104 PCI Series boards are allowed in a system. When installing
multiple boards, please note the boards’ order for distinguishing the installed boards.
C UART TI550C
The UART chip, TI550C, is an intelligent asynchronous controller capable of supporting
one full duplex channel that simultaneously transfers data at 921.6 Kbps. To increase the
overall data throughput, special features such as on-chip FIFO and on-chip hardware
flow control are used to reduce the number of interrupts to the onboard CPU and to
prevent any loss of valuable data.
