Hi Guys,

I'm a hercules newbie trying to get code composer talking to my tms57004 board.

my problem is I don't understand how the serial connection works? I'm working with the mibadc example and trying to get serial communication to the serial terminal in code composer. The board seems to get the program loaded via the debug command (onboard leds flash) but  I don't see any serial communication despite trying many serial terminal configurations. I have the board connected via the micro-usb slot, and it shows up as a usb device in dmesg.

Any advice would be great,

many thanks  

Jonny Edwards

    Jonny,

    Please check in control panel->system->Device Manager your Ports as following:

    You should find a USB Serial Port with a COMxx (The value will be different in your case). Of course your development board has to be plugged via the USB cable to your Host PC.

    Now in CCS to display the terminal, you have to go to:

    View->Other->Terminal->Terminal

    This will open the terminal in CCS as following:

    Click on "setting" and configure as following:

    Please match the baudrate, Data Bits and other communication parameters according to your case.

    That it.

    Please have a try and let me know.
