Debug Cable
Connect the micro-B end of a USB
cable into debug port J23. Connect the
other end of the cable to a PC acting
as a host terminal. Four UART serial
port connections will appear on the PC,
the third serial port is assigned to A53
core and the fourth to M7 core system
debugging. The console print will output
on “Enhanced COM port,” which can be
found in “Device Manager” of the PC.
If the serial port is not recognized, then
download and install updated drivers
as listed in the section Debug Serial
Console below.
Open the terminal window (i.e., Hyper
Terminal or Tera Term), choose the
third COM port number and apply the
following configuration.
• Baud rate: 115200
