4.1 Terminal Emulation Installation
The Zoom ColdFire SDK Development Kit is designed to communicate with terminal
emulation programs via the included null-modem serial cable, using the following settings:
19200 baud, 8-data-bits, no-parity, 1-stop-bit, and no-flow-control. The terminal emulation
program must support binary transfers in order to download software to the kit.
Although Logic Product Development does not support any particular terminal emulation
program, we suggest using Tera Term Pro for Windows® 2000 or Windows XP. Tera Term Pro
is provided on the CD-ROM or can be downloaded for free from Logic's website at the
following location: https://www.logicpd.com/auth/. Step-by-step installation instructions for
Tera Term can be found in the
Zoom ColdFire SDK User’s Manual
. Tera Term Pro is not
available for Linux users. Logic Product Development does not guarantee or support any
terminal emulation programs under Linux or Windows platforms.
Once the terminal emulation program has been installed, open a new serial port connection
using the port where the null-modem serial cable is connected. For example, using Tera Term,
set the 'baud-rate' to 19200, 'data' to 8-bit, 'parity' to none, 'stop' to 1-bit, and 'flow control'
to none.
