This example demonstrates a UART test for the Olimex GateMate board.
- Build the Project
Navigate to the
3.build
directory and run the following command in the terminal:
make all
Ensure that the paths in the Makefile are properly configured before executing this command. After successful synthesis, implementation and programming of the board, proceed to the next step.
-
Configure Serial Communication 2.1. Open your preferred serial communication terminal, such as PuTTY or Tera Term. 2.2. Set the baud rate to 115200. 2.3. Configure the port to
/dev/ttyACM0
. Verify that this is the correct port name for the USB connection to the Olimex board.Note: Make sure to check and confirm the exact port name that the Olimex board is connected to, as it may vary.
-
Test the UART communication The test is that everything you write on your keyboard should also appear on the terminal, therefore you are testing the Trasmitter and Reciever at the same time.
