Secondary Serial Test Port Communication Lines
The SMC UART has no flow control. So, it has only RX and TX. The 
SMC TX signal is connected directly to the test port. For the SMC RX 
signal, a 2:1 mux (U15) is used to switch between the PCTXD and the test 
port TX signal. To operate properly, the DETECT pin (pin 4) of the test 
cable must be grounded. When DETECT is grounded, the mux selects the 
test port. When DETECT is left floating, the mux selects PCTXD.
User Interface
The user interface consists of 2 buttons, 7 LEDs, and a speaker for audible 
alerts. The following sections describe how these have been implemented in 
hardware and how to control them in software.
Speaker Driver
The speaker driver is a class D amplifier. It receives input from the DAC. 
See 
send data to the DAC. 
Before streaming data to the DAC, the amplifier must be enabled. This is 
accomplished by setting SPKR_EN (PD8) to output high. To conserve 
power, SPKR_EN must be set to output low when not alerting.
