Configuring the Serial Port for UART
Several development tools require UART to be routed to the FTDI serial port. Refer to
Figure 32
in
Appendix B
for the Basic Development Kit board connection verification and on how to properly
configure the specific port.
7.3.1
Using Serial Port
To make sure that the communication between the board and the Windows development host is
properly established, it is necessary to verify the UART connection between the two nodes.
On the Windows host, Tera Term can be used to validate the connection to the by Basic Development
Kit following these steps:
1.
Connect the Basic Development Kit board to the PC via USB cable. The location of the board's
USB port is shown in
Figure 6
.
2.
Use the Windows Device Manager to verify that the host discovered the
COM28
serial port in this
case. See
Figure 8
.
3.
Open Tera Term from the Windows Start menu as shown in
Figure 9
.

4.
In the
Tera Term: New connection
dialog, select
Serial
, then select the COM
Port
to use, and
click
OK
.
5.
Select Setup > Serial Port and configure your UART port using the parameters shown in
Table 1
(you need to be an administrator on your local machine), see
Figure 10
.
