something is not right i quizzed tech support pretty hard on 485 half
duplex and direction control
and was told the cpld contains a register that counts out going bits and
then waits for the last bit
to complete and then automaticaly switches back to rx mode, tx is supose
to be triggered by a load
of the uart. Note i have not tried this yet but will be doing so shortly.
