Diagnostic port<br />
The ES/2 diagnostic port is a general purpose RS232 serial port which allows the ES/2 to<br />
communicate with a PC. Half of the SIO U49 is used for the diagnostics (the other half for serial<br />
machine control). A 75155 RS232 transceiver is used to convert TTL levels to RS232. The<br />
diagnostic port communicates at 9600 baud with no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit. A list of<br />
commands will be displayed when a ‘’ followed by return is received.<br />
Kernel / Comms interface<br />
The KERNEL and COMMS microprocessors communicate with each other by two uni-directional<br />
First-In-First-Out buffers (FIFOs). The circuit diagrams show 2 MK4501 FIFOs. FIFO1 (U40) routes<br />
messages from the COMMS to the KERNEL while FIFO2 (U41) is concerned with sending<br />
messages from the KERNEL to the COMMS.<br />
There are two hardware status lines generated by each FIFO which inform the processors when<br />
each FIFO is either full or empty. Both processors read these lines via buffers inside the FPGA<br />
SUPPORT. The KERNEL and COMMS processors have the same software to read and transmit to<br />
the FIFOs, a state diagram is shown in Figure 6.<br />
