__TOC__
 
 
= VCOM functionality =
 
This J-Link model supports VCOM.
 
 
== Supported baudrates ==
 
This J-Link OB supports max. 1 MBaud. The internal divider is calculated as follows:
 
Baudrate = 96000000 / Div * 16;
 
Div = 96000000 / (Baudrate * 16);
 
'''Note:''' The real baudrate and the selected one should not deviate more than 3% to guarantee proper communication on VCOM.
 
 
== Pin driving policy ==
 
The following pins are available on this OB:
 
* OB_Tx (driven by J-Link OB)
 
* OB_Rx (driven by target)
 
* CTS (driven by target. LOW == Target ready to receive data)
 
* RTS (driven by J-Link OB. LOW == J-Link OB ready to receive data)
 
J-Link OB starts driving its VCOM output pins as soon as it receives a "set baudrate" command. This command is send by the PC as soon as a COM port is opened. Unfortunately, there is no specific command / packet etc. send by the PC in case a COM port is opened. Therefore the "set baudrate" approach is the only one to detect COM port activity.
 
 
J-Link OB stops driving the RTS pin if J-Link OB detects that hardware flow control is not used on the target side.
 
 
== Hardware flow control support ==
 
Hardware flow control is supported by this J-Link OB. By default, J-Link detects at runtime if the target uses flow control or not.
 
This is done as follows:
 
* If CTS is detected as HIGH (Target not ready) before the first character is sent by J-Link OB, the pin is assumed to be not used by the target and flow control on the J-Link side gets disabled (CTS is ignored from now on, J-Link stops driving RTS)
 
 
=== Force or disable hardware flow control ===
 
It is possible to configure J-Link OB to bypass the hardware flow control auto-detection in the firmware and assume that hardware flow control is always or never used. This can be done via J-Link Commander and the following command:
 
SetHWFC Enable/Disable/Force
 
 
'''Note:''' This setting gets active immediately and survives a power-cycle of J-Link.
 
 
* '''Enable:''' Default. Enables hardware flow control and runtime auto-detection
 
* '''Disable:''' Disables hardware flow control (never used)
 
* '''Force:''' Enables hardware flow control and bypasses runtime auto-detection (RTS is kept driven and CTS is kept sampling)
