An RS-232 serial port connector is provided for connection to the target. This enables serial
data to be relayed between the target and the host through the ST Micro Connect 2. A
terminal emulation program can be run on the host to receive serial data and for the user to
enter serial data, see
Section 5.14: Configure serial redirect (--serial-relay) on page 27
for
further information.
Appendix A: Connectors on page 36
provides detailed information about the physical
connectors used on the ST Micro Connect 2.
Configuring the ST Micro Connect 2 is made easy by using an LCD interface, which is
located on the top surface of the unit (see
Chapter 2 on page 13
). The LCD is operated by
two push button switches on the front panel that provide
