Set Up a Terminal Program
You will use a terminal program to
communicate with the evaluation board.
The following instructions describe the
Windows HyperTerminal program which
is found on most Windows PCs. You may
use another terminal program but setup
will be different. Note that Windows 7 does
not include HyperTerminal. Tera Term has
been verified to work with Windows 7. For
Linux, Minicom is a good alternative.
