7.1.2 Printing the output on UART console using Tera Term
The output of the A71CL example execution can be switched to be seen by using Tera
Term. For this, the SDK Debug Console should be configured to be in ‘
UART Console’
mode. Figure 28 illustrates the process; simply click on ‘
Quick Settings’
, ‘SDK Debug
Console’ and finally choose ‘
UART Console’
.
Figure 28. SDK Debug Console in UART Console mode
This ‘Quick Setting’ takes automatic care to set the pre-processor define
‘
SDK_DEBUGCONSOLE’
to 1 to activate the UART console (0 for the semi hosting
console)
Note:
If the option UART console or Semihost console cannot be clicked, make sure that there
is not a running session and that the project is selected in the project explorer. If there is
a running session (a running thread inside ‘Debug’ window), click on the 'Terminate all
debug sessions’ button.
Finally, to run the example project:
1. First, click on ‘ Build ’.
2. Then, click on ‘ Debug ’ to run the project in the Kinetis board.
