I am looking for an SoC and we need 6 serial ports (4 RS232, and 2 RS422). I am currently looking at the Atom E3815
On the data sheet (Atom_E3800_Family_Datasheet.PDF), pg 31 indicates that it supports up to 7 I2C, 2 HSUART, 2 PWM, 1 SPI interface.
How can I configure the ports on this Atom E3815 SoC to meet our requirements and would I need additional hardware?
Is there another SoC similar to this Atom E3815 SoC that would be more suitable?
