Originated from other thread....

--> or SC16IS850L. Has 1.8V operation, no need for I2C level converter, but needs 1.8V regulator. and some tricks to interface to 232 transceiver.

Looks good! What about the software side - what kind of interface we would have to use with this SC16IS750 ? I mean do we have to write a library from scratch ?

Pardon my ignorance.. I'm not an HW expert and new to Jolla. What is TCVR ?

tranciever
the purpose - and interface is rs232/ infrared addition to communicate with serial devices or connect fx to retrieve logs from bootloader

I should have all parts for the -750 version.. and some code ready, as this was used in one project to interface 232 touchscreen via I2C.
Only thing missing is time to tinker it..

And, I just got a qoute that the connection close here is very interested in this, and wants to help where they can - So, all chips and technical assistance is 'almost' ready

Looking for the thinnest D9 -connector (Straight) solution... The WP 425 was thinnest after 30min go'ogling.

update
V0.02 schematic. ready. then layout.
(The 232 transceiver changed to SP3203E -has separate logic supply for interfacing 1.8V and with more channels)

No leds, should be buffered as there is no outputs with enough drive-strength.
Signals available in connector
  • TXD -->
  • RXD <--
  • DTR -->
  • RTS -->
  • CTS <--

I have seen some discussions about IRDA transmitter/receiver things?
Or are they talking just IR transmitters like in remote controllers?
IRDA shold be doable with this uart.

Thats what I plan, I believe irda is a thing missing, since N900
