3.1.2 Console port 
The front panel console port is connected through the MV64462 via a Linear Systems 
LTC1386 EIA-562 (low voltage EIA-232) transceiver. The console port is an RJ45 
modular connector mounted on the front panel using three wire (Tx, Rx, GND) EIA-
232 at 9600 baud, 8N1 (8 bits, No parity, 1 stop bit). Figure 4 shows the console port 
pin out.

3.1.3 Pushbutton Reset / Interrupt 
 
An optional external pushbutton reset is provided as a 6-pin header (part of J8, J9, see 
Figure 2, Figure 5, and Table 7) on the board that accepts the standard SBE 
developer’s debug cable with toggle switch.  Contact SBE Technical Support for 
additional details on obtaining a developer’s debug cable. 
 
The same toggle switch is also used to generate a non-maskable interrupt (NMI), by 
pushing it in the opposite direction.  The pushbutton interrupt signal is connected to a 
GPIO port of the Marvell Discovery III System Controller, which can be configured 
to route it to the MPC744X if desired.  See Table 11 for the GPIO port number.
