A.8.6. USB to UART

The board uses a USB based UART bridge chip (FT232R) to bridge communication to a host for general software debug for Nios® and non- Nios® systems. This chip uses TXD and RXD for transmission and reception of data. A mini B plug receptacle is used to minimize board space. The related I/O utilization is implemented in Bank 4.
