M53015 Evaluation Board, Rev. 0.5
Freescale Semiconductor 9
5.17 Ethernet
The MCF53015 has 2 10/100 Ethernet MACs. On the M53015EVB these are each connected to National
Semiconductor DP83640 ethernet PHYs. A dual port Ethernet jack, P2, is provided. Ethernet Channel 1 is
connected to the upper port, while Channel 0 is connected to the lower port. Link, speed, and activity lights
are provided for each port. MAC addresses for each Ethernet port are labeled on the board. The DP83640
also supports IEEE 1588. These pins are provided on a 26 pin header, J2.
5.18 UARTs
The MCF53015 includes 3 UART modules. The M53015EVB provides one standard RS232 line driver
necessary to interface with RS232 connectors. This driver is connected to the DB9 connector J52 and
jumper options can connect the driver to either UART1 (muxed with the SSI port pins) or UART2
(dedicated). The board also supplies a USB-to-UART bridge to interface with the MCF53015’s UART0.
If using this option, a USB type B connector can be used to interface with an external device, instead of
the standard RS232 connector. Before using this connector, the Serial to USB bridge driver
“CP210x_VCP_Win2K_XP_S2K3.exe” should be installed. This driver can be found on the included
DVD. Once the driver is installed, the USB port will show up on your computer as a COM port and you
can communicate with it using any terminal program. You can view the Device Manager on your computer
to determine the assigned COM port. UART jumper configurations are described in the following tables:
