I am learning some demo for IOT, but the some of the demo require for a connected to the ICDI virtual COM port and running at 115,200, 8-N-1. how could I run the emulator so I could see what is been output to the COM port?

    Hello Shan,

    I did not get your question.

    Do you want to be able to program the TM4C129EXL using CCS? If yes, then just import the application into CCS, build and program. The project should already have the necessary setting for programming the MCU.

    Do you want to see data printed by the application on the console of CCS? If yes, then you application should be using XDC Tools to print to the console.

    Do you want to see the data printed by the application on the Terminal window of CCS? If yes, then open the CCS Terminal window using the menu option - View->Other...->Terminal->Terminal. This opens CCS Terminal window. Use the "Settings" icon from the list of icons to enter the required UART setting.

    Thanks,
    Sai

    Hi, Sai, I saw that Terminal, how could I set it up? is this terminal could connect to the virtual COM serial interface in the TM4C129EXL launchpad?

    this what I see in the support pdf
    UART0, connected to the ICDI virtual COM port and running at 115,200, 8-N-1, is used to display messages from this application. Use the following command to re-build the any file system files that change.
    ../../../../tools/bin/makefsfile -i fs -o enet_fsdata.h -r -h -q

    Hello Shan,

    If all you want to do is view the UART0 data on a terminal window, then either use the one provided in Code Composer Studio or install a terminal window application like Tera Term or Putty.

    In any of these terminal window applications you will have to choose the "Serial" option and then choose values for

    • Baud rate as 115200
    • Start bits as 8
    • Stop bits as 1
    • Parity as 0
    • Flow Control as None

    Thanks,

    Sai

    Thanks Sai, It works, for Mac user, I would like to provide an answer.

    1. Download your program which has the UART code inside to your Launchpad.
    2. Open your terminal and type : screen /dev/tty.usbmodem0F800071 115200

    the name of usbmodem0F800071 might be different, look into your dev root.
