Using CCS Terminal with command input



To whom it may concern:

Currently, I am working with a micro-controller and am able to see a Welcome screen appear in the terminal and I can view when the terminal is detecting certain interrupts being tripped. Commands exist on the micro-controller such as sdct which stands for SD Card Test, and I should be able to enter this into the Terminal Command input, but by simply entering in "sdct" nothing happens. Is there a specific syntax for CCS Terminal Commands?

Thanks,

  • Benjamin,

    "Twimc" got me instead of an expert. :)

    I am also using the CCS Terminal window, two of them actually, and have been able to enter Linux commands into one and MCU commands into the other. I have been using no special syntax, but I do not understand all of the options in the Setup Window for the Terminal - I just took defaults where I did not understand it, like the encoding is ISO-8859-1, whatever that means.

    Do you get a prompt from your MCU, and it responds to the Enter key?

  • Randy,

    I believe the issue I was having was simply that I was in debugging mode. I had to turn it off in order to use the commands the were defined in my MCU. So to answer you question, now the Enter key works after entering in the command :)

    Thanks, as for the encoding I used ISO-8859 as well and I selected the port of interest; Baud Rate = 115200; Data Bits = 8; Stop Bits = 1; Parity = None; Flow Control = None; and Timeout = 5 sec.

    Thanks Again!
