The microcontroller programming serial port can optionally be disconnected from the E8 and connected to the RS232 transceiver by
moving option resistors. Serial channel 0 is then disconnected. The connections to be moved are listed in the following table.

Table 6-3 - Serial Option Links
The board is designed to accept a straight through RS232 cable. A secondary microcontroller serial port is available and connected to the
application headers. Please refer to the schematic diagram for more details on the available connections.
6.5. LCD Module
A LCD module can be fitted to the LCD connector. Any module that conforms to the pin connections and has a KS0066u compatible
controller can be used with the tutorial code. The LCD module uses a 4bit interface to reduce the pin allocation. No contrast control is
provided; this must be set on the display module.
Table 6-4 shows the pin allocation and signal names used on this connector.
The module supplied with the CPU board only supports 5V operation.
