Using Putty not Hyperterminal with the EK-TM4C123GXL on an XP machine

I'm using an old PC with a fresh, updated XP installation.

I couldn't seem to get Hyperterminal to work in the exercises on step 33 of the TM4C123G_LaunchPad_Workshop_Workbook.

I downloaded putty.exe, and it ran steps 34 and 35 without a hitch.

FWIW

    Mitch,

        Provide more details on this activity of launchpad workshop workbook or a link. Most people here probably are not familiar with launchpad workshop.

        Regarding your hyperterminal problem, have you configured it correctly?

    I've been working through this link. It is well written and up to date tutorial material:

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Getting_Started_with_the_TIVA%E2%84%A2_C-Series_TM4C123G_LaunchPad?DCMP=tivac&HQS=TM4C123G-Launchpad-Workshop

    The workbook is linked to that page. the link to the workbook:

    http://software-dl.ti.com/trainingTTO/trainingTTO_public_sw/GSW-TM4C123G-LaunchPad/TM4C123G_LaunchPad_Workshop_Workbook.pdf

    but for some reason the link to the workbook doesn't seem to be working just at this moment.

    I used hyperterm as stated in the workbook, and it came back with a 'can't connect' error message. putty seemed to work with xp, so I moved on, but I'm still interested in knowing how to use hyperterm. It usually opens on my machine wanting to set up a terminal session, but even when it defaults to running a serial comm session, it can't seem to connect.

    it (Hyper-terminal) can't seem to connect.

    Usually - this results due to "mismatch" between Hyper-terminal's "default" communication settings and those w/in your interconnected MCU.

    Upon opening Hyper-Term click: File > Properties > Connect to > Configure... following should reveal:

    Those 2 highlights are not, "normally/customarily" good matches for your MCU.  "Hardware Flow Control" is the most likely cause for your failure to connect.  Replacing that selection w/ "None" & aligning the other selects -usually gets you, "On the Air."

    Bon chance, mon ami...
