-The SBC V2 board uses addresses 60h - 7Fh for itself, and anything else goes to ECB.

-The original ECB Disk IO board uses addresses 20h-3Fh. In the ECB Disk IO V3 board the I/O range is configurable to any 32-bytes block, with 20h-3Fh being the recommended default (and that's the default configuration of RomWBW firmware). The more detailed port information is here: ([[http://retrobrewcomputers.org/lib/exe/fetch.php?tok=f89205&media=http://www.retrobrewcomputers.org/lib/images/smileys/fixme.gif|http://retrobrewcomputers.org/lib/exe/fetch.php?tok=f89205&media=http://www.retrobrewcomputers.org/lib/images/smileys/fixme.gif]]: Add Link to ECB DiskIO V3 ports info).
-The PropIO board uses 8 I/O addresses range, with the first Propeller (one that handles keyboard and VGA) using the first 4 addresses and the second propeller using the next 4 addresses. The I/O address can be configured to any 8-bytes block using P5 jumper block, but apparently the recommended default is 40h-47h (Jumpers setting: 10111 - 1 = Jumper In [present], 0 = Jumper Out [absent]).
-The ECB SCG board also uses 8 I/O addresses range, configurable using P20 jumper block. The default configuration is 50h- 58h (P20 jumper settings: 10101).
-The ECB Zilog Peripherals board uses 16 I/O addresses, configurable using jumpers SW1-SW4. It looks like the recommended default is 10h-1Fh (see "Board Address" section in (: Add link to ECB Zilog Peripherals)).
-The ECB VDU board uses addresses 0F0h-0F7h (: Double-check this address range).
-The uPD7220 board uses 16 I/O addresses, and it looks that the recommended address range is 80h-8Fh.
-The ECB ColorVDU board can be jumpered for any 16 I/O addresses. It is jumpered for addresses 0E0h-0EFh at present.
-Some additional notes regarding I/O addresses:
-| \\  //__Wolfgang Kabatzke , 2:37 pm on Dec 30, 2012__ \\ Hello Sergey and Douglas,// \\  \\ //great job! Thank You so much for the help. I take Your comments as reference part in my RAM-floppy-documentation. So I reserve for ECB-RAF2011 R1.0 the range from 0A0H-0AFH for #1 and 0B0H-0BFH for #2.// \\  \\ //Thank You so much.// \\  \\ //Regards Wolfgang//   |
-| \\  //__Douglas W. Goodall, 5:36 pm on Dec 30, 2012__ \\ You can't actually reserve 2/16ths of all the possible I/O addresses, but we can note that these are the preferred addresses for integrating your boards, and at least cause builders to take this into account when they are integrating their own systems. I will try to follow that recommendation, since I will be integrating two boards into my system. I look forward to building up your boards so I can add them to my ECB configuration and use them in my SBC V2, and in my N8-2312.//   |
-===== Serial Cable Instructions =====
-The SBC V2 doesn't have any video capabilities in its solitary form. Therefore, in order to test it, you will need to connect it to a serial terminal (which will provide the keyboard input and monitor output). The easiest way to do this is to construct a cable which will provide a serial port (with a D-sub connector or DE-9 plug) which will plug into a “host” computer running a serial terminal emulation program. This program will allow you to interface with the SBC V2 board using the host computer’s keyboard and monitor.
-First, you must build a cable with an IDC-10 plug on one end (plastic rectangular connector with 2 rows of 5 pins) and a female DE-9 plug (ie. a serial port plug) on the other end.
-The female DE-9 plug is what you will plug into the serial port of your host computer. Serial ports (on the back of the computer) are male ports (ie. they have pins), so the plug at the end of this cable must be a female plug (they have holes). It's not recommended to use accessory serial cables to make this connection (such as null modem cables, etc.). This is because many such cables are wired for specific applications, and may not work with your SBC V2 board. For instance, a serial data transfer cable is wired very differently from a “straight-through” serial cable (pin 1 to 1, 2 to 2, etc.) which is different from a null modem cable. Because of this cable inconsistency, it's preferred to build the complete custom cable from the beginning knowing exactly what pin is connected where and why, and not to use any serial extension cables. The exception to this is using a serial cable that you know is wired as a “straight through” cable (with each pin on one plug connected to each pin on the other plug: 1 to 1, 2 to 2, etc).
-The following cable layout shows what is being connected where in this cable:
-^IDC-10 side^DE-9 side|
-|2|4|
-|3|3|
-|5|2|
-|7|6|
-|9|5|
-Pin 1 on the IDC plug is marked with an embossed triangle on the plug, and this pin corresponds to pin 1 on the pcb which is marked with a square solder hole (at the lower-right most position of the plug on the SBC V2 pcb). The pins on the DE-9 plug are usually marked right on the plug itself in tiny numbers. Strip some wires and solder away. Instead of stripping wires and soldering manually, you can also use ribbon cable and special "direct connect" plugs that connect directly to the ribbon cable without soldering (they have rows of metal "pins" that press down and penetrate the ribbon cable to make the connections). Because of the non-standard pin connections that are needed in this cable (per the above table), however, you will likely need to do some soldering or “custom connecting”.
-Always double and triple check where you’re soldering something before you solder it. When you’ve built your cable, use your multimeter to check connectivity between each pin on the IDC-10 side and the DE-9 side according to the arrangement above to make sure you got it right.
-In order to test connections in a plug you cannot stick the multimeter lead into the hole (because it will not fit). Instead, take a spare piece of wire, stick it into the hole for the pin you want to test, and then touch the multimeter lead to that wire.

-===== Changes from V1 =====
-The V2 is upward compatible. The main difference is the added jumpers to allow 48k/16k memory mapping as an alternate to 32k/32k. All of the V1 software will run on the V2 with default jumpers.
-The V2 board has major corrections to the external Bus Master logic to support DMA. The V1 board is not able to support DMA. Since there are no add-on boards which have a DMA controller, this circuit update has never been tested or used.
-The serial interface is jumper configurable to support DTR/DSR protocol (V1 compatible), or RTS/CTS protocol (not on the V1).
-There is an DS1210 on the V2 board to provide 512k SRAM battery backup. The V1 does not have this capability. The RTC SRAM is battery backed on both boards.
-There is an option jumper on the Parallel Interface connector to strap pin 25 to either GND or +5v. On the V1 board this pin is tied to GND.
-The V1 board has a Power On LED; the V2 board has a HALT(red)/RUN(green) bi-color LED. This is considered extremely cool.
-If at some future time you want one of the new goodies, then you might consider an upgrade. As an alternate upgrade you might look at the Home Computer with the Z180. It is still in the early shakedown stages; but it is a much larger board.
