We have a embedded system that is getting outdated. We just upgraded the motherboard to a newer model and have issues with interface compatibility, Currently, the motherboard is connected to another proprietary board through the 40-pin to 40-pin serial com cable like this:
The old motherboard has all COM1-4 in one rack which is why we use the 40-pin cable. We have now upgraded to a new board, unfortunately, this one has COM1-4 in individual pin headers, and different locations in the board. I'm looking for some 4-way splitter from 40-pin to 4 10-pin headers that we can use. I'm not sure if this thing exists.
I found below item from ebay. We need something similar to that, except, instead of the external connectors, I need it to be pin header connectors that can go into the board.
Does anybody know if this thing exists? Or, can we purchase the above image and replace the individual connectors with female pin header connections and will it work?
