Using the Virtual Serial Port

1.

Determine the symbolic name assigned to the DEVKIT-MPC5744P virtual serial port. On Windows platform open Device Manager and look for the COM

port named “OpenSDA-CDC Serial Port”.

2.

Open the serial terminal emulation program of your choice. Examples for Windows platform include Tera Term, PuTTY, or HyperTerminal.

3.

Program one of the “code examples” using S32 Design Studio IDE.

4.

Configure the terminal emulation program. Most embedded examples use 8 data bits, no parity bits, and one stop bit (8-N-1). Match the baud rate to the

selected serial test application and open the port.

5.

Press and release the Reset button (SW3) at anytime to restart the example application. Resetting the embedded application will not affect the

connection of the virtual serial port to the terminal program.

NOTE:

Refer to the OpenSDA User’s Guide for a description of a known Windows issue when disconnecting a virtual serial port while the COM port is in

use.
