Question

I am working on USRP2 and would like to read the debug messages. There is a serial port at the rear-end.

I connect a standard USB to 3.3v-level serial converter. But I am not sure, which tool to use to read the messages.

As per the specification, I could read the debug verbose message at 230400 baud.

Can we use Hyperterminal in Windows ? Any 3rd party tools or any tools in Linux would be helpful as well.

Thanks

Answer 1

I use minicom in Linux, Teraterm Pro in Windows.

(In a pinch in Linux you can do something like cat /dev/ttyUSB0 if you don’t need to send anything back to your embedded system, and the default baud rate can be configured correctly…)
