CCS/EK-TM4C1294XL: Is it possible to use USB serial port over external console (e.g. PuTTy)?

Part Number: EK-TM4C1294XL

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I have been using printf() over the CCS console for awhile now. I have need to use this externally, over to LabVIEW and/or PuTTy can this be done?

  • Hi,

      I will suggest you use UARTprintf(). Please reference the hello example from TivaWare library where it shows how to print the "Hello World!" using UARTprintf() which can send the message to the external terminal such as Putty. Basically you are sending the string over the UART and the on-board ICDI debug probe will convert from UART to USB which makes the UART as a virtual COM port.
