No serial output when using target management terminal

Hi there,

I've followed the instructions in this post:

http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/t/162228.aspx

to install Target Management Terminal (3.2.1.R33x) and RXTX (2.1.7.4) into CCS (v5.2). The installation was successful. However when I try to use it to connect to a Serial Port, my output will not appear. Here is what is happening:

1. Connect to COM3 (Stellaris Virtual Serial Port) in the Terminal window

2. Debug CCS application which should write output (using UARTPrintf)

3. No output appears

However if I use Putty or Hyperterminal:

1. Connect to COM3 (Stellaris Virtual Serial Port) in Putty or Hyperterminal

2. Debug CCS application which should write output (using UARTPrintf)

3. Output appears

In all 3 scenario's I'm using the recommended Stellaris settings - baud rate 115200, data bits 8, stop bits 1, parity none, flow control none.

I've checked and when I connect via Terminal I then can't connect via Putty, and vice versa, so I know the terminal is connecting to the port. There is nothing significant in my Eclipse log file - just 'A conflict occurred for ALT+E' relating to bindings, which I don't think could be relevant.

Is there anything I need to do to get the output to appear? Or might the versions I installed be incompatible? If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, they'd be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Emma

    Hi Emma,

    are you using a Stellaris Launchpad?  There is a known issue with the terminal plug-in.  Another tip is that CCSv5.3 has the terminal plug-in built in.

    Best Regards,

    Yes, I am using Stellaris Launchpad. Thanks for letting me know it's a known issue. I'll look into using CCSv5.3 instead. Out of interest, does the terminal plugin in the newer version allow you to save the output to a file, or can you just copy and paste the output?

    Thanks again!

    Hi Emma,

    I would always recommend using the latest version, however I do not believe the fix for the stellaris launchpad with the terminal is implemented yet.

    You should be able to copy and paste if using the built in terminal.

    Hope this helps clarify.

    Best Regards,
    Lisa
