RS-232 Transceiver
The Gemini programmer utilises ‘logic level’ signals on the ‘PROG_RXD’ and ‘PROG_TXD’
lines. This allows the programmer to be connected to the target system with no need for a
costly RS-232 Transceiver IC. However, if your target system uses the UART of the target
microcontroller during normal operation, it is likely that you will be using an RS-232
Transceiver IC on your board to drive the target serial port. If this is the case, it is necessary
to insert a resistor, R3, in the ‘PROG_TXD’ line as shown in the circuit schematic. This resistor
allows both the programmer and the Transceiver IC to drive the microcontroller RXD pin
without contention.
