A factory configured option allows for support of SAE J1708 on both serial channels. The
programmable 16-byte transmit and receive FIFOs allow for multiple channels of high
speed serial I/O without excessive processor bottlenecking. The PC compatible parallel
port can be used as a primary or secondary printer port or can be used for general purpose
digital I/O with its bi-directional capability.
