1.7 Setting Up UART Terminal
This section presents how to install the drivers for the USB to UART chip on the DE10-Pro SX
board and how to set up the UART terminal on your host PC. The DE10-Pro SX board
communicates with the PC through the Mini USB connector. You should install the USB to UART
driver and configure the UART terminal before you run Linux on the board.
