Now, a courser should appear next to ASCII, however we do not want to edit the “name” column, so press Enter to continue onto the “Program” column. To edit this section press the “I” key which corresponds to the row ASCII is in. | Change which setting?

The final remedy may require some trial and error on your part.
MINICOM SETUP SERIAL
Sometimes the serial devices do not talk to each other nicely resulting in one being overloaded by the other. If file transfer fails or hangs, some additional tweaks in Minicom may be needed.

Thus far you should see:Ĭopyright 1996 - 2005 Freesca+-+torĬTRL-A Z for help | 9600 8N1 | NOR | Minicom 2.3 | VT102 | Offline Then press Ctrl+A and press the S key for “upload”.

To transfer a text file to the Dragon12 board, type in load in D-Bug12. You should receive the following D-Bug12 prompt:Ĭopyright 1996 - 2005 Freescale Semiconductor Note that it is unimportant if the device was connected before or after configuration. Once the Dragon12 is connected to the serial port, press the “reset” button on the board. Minicom is now 'listening' to the serial port (/dev/ttyUSB0 is the serial device is in this example). The following sequence should appear:įollowed by something similar to the following: Type minicom in a terminal to run Minicom. Selected Save setup as dfl (save setup as default) then select Exit from Minicom. When the configuration is complete you should be presented with the original screen.

Minicom can be downloaded from Freecode or the following terminal command can be used to download and install the program:ĬAUTION: I've seen some potentially fake sites posing as the 'official' Minicom website with untrusted security certificates. This program is used from console to interface with D-Bug12 and send the text file to the board. Minicom is a serial communication program, which we can use with the Dragon12 board.
