A typical USB to UART converter is shown in Figure 6. The USB connector should be connected to the PC. The jump
wires (count of four) should be connected to the UART interface on the LinkIt 2523 HDK. Connect the black wire to
the GND, the white wire to the RX and the green wire to the TX and no need to connect the red wire. Once the
converter is connected, the system logs will display on the serial monitor tool, such as Tera Terminal. Figure 19
shows the UART port connector location.
