The serial ports can be configured as either RS-232, 422 or 485, using these daughter boards and DIP switches. I had naively assumed both ports are 232 and somehow fried one of my 232 to USB converters. Better RTFM first.

Anyhow, I had trouble getting anything out of the 232 port, it gets stuck in a boot loop and never makes any sign of life on serial. This needs hardware handshake and I even probed RTS and CTS with the scope to make sure my USB converter does support hardware handshakes
The debug console features a disassembler, an assembler, can load binary data from the network using TFTP, and even dump the contents of memory to a TFTP server
