I have given some toughts to this already...

--> either SC16IS750. Has 3.3V operation, but you'll need I2C levelconverter (e.g. PCA9517) and 1.8V regulator. Easier to interface to the 232 transceiver.



--> or SC16IS850L. Has 1.8V operation, no need for I2C level converter, but needs 1.8V regulator. and some tricks to interface to 232 transceiver.

Looks good! What about the software side - what kind of interface we would have to use with this SC16IS750 ? I mean do we have to write a library from scratch ?

Pardon my ignorance.. I'm not an HW expert and new to Jolla. What is TCVR ?

tranciever
the purpose - and interface is rs232/ infrared addition to communicate with serial devices or connect fx to retrieve logs from bootloader

I should have all parts for the -750 version.. and some code ready, as this was used in one project to interface 232 touchscreen via I2C.
Only thing missing is time to tinker it..

Looking for the thinnest D9 -connector (Straight) solution... The WP 425 was thinnest after 30min go'ogling.

update
V0.02 schematic. ready. then layout.
(The 232 transceiver changed to SP3203E -has separate logic supply for interfacing 1.8V and with more channels)

No leds, should be buffered as there is no outputs with enough drive-strength.
Signals available in connector
  • TXD -->
  • RXD <--
  • DTR -->
  • RTS -->
  • CTS <--

I have seen some discussions about IRDA transmitter/receiver things?
Or are they talking just IR transmitters like in remote controllers?
IRDA shold be doable with this uart.
