I want to connect this device<http://www.thingmagic.com/embedded-rfid-readers/mercury6e>(a RFID reader module) to my BBB, that is, I simply want them to talk (as if it was so easy, kkkk). This RFID module has the following electrical interfaces:
UART with 3.3/5V logic levels from 9600 to 921,600 bps; USB 2.0 full speed device port (up to 12 Mbps) I already tried connecting it through USB but 'lsusb' and 'dmesg' shows nothing. So now I wanna try to connect it to my BBB trough UART (no USB is involved here). That is, my plan is simply use 3 wires (GND, RX, TX) to connect one device to another since I think both UART interfaces are compatible, right? Or am I missing to verify something to ensure they are compatible (both are TTL)? My question is, what is the simplest way to physically connect this device to BBB's UART? I want to know if would it be possible to use the serial debug header? That is, is this header a UART port? Or I must configure and use some of the P8/P9 pins? -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
