Mark,
as usual, thanks for the quick response.
You are right, I mixed between the two.
My Atmel board is the AT91SAM7X-EK (it does not have a REV version on it). As you mentioned there are 2 DSUB's on it but in my case BOTH are connected and the DEBUG one has the same ADM3203 that is installed for the RS232 connector driving it. I have verified that it is connected to the SAM (pins 73, 74) chip and that it is connected in parallel with the relevant pins on J16A (28,29).
On my board (which is based on the Atmel board) I have connected 2 DSUBs as well.
The first one is connected to PA0 and PA1 same way it is on the Atmel board and this connection work Ok with the default configuration of Demo_Uart to be 0. (RS232)
The second one is connected to PA27 and PA28. When I change Demo_Uart to be 1 (I did this before posting the issue), I assumed this connector will work, however it is not. It is also not working on the Atmel board DEBUG DSUB or on J16
Thanks in advance
