In this section we will try to give ideas on how to drive the UART from a PC
besides the simple implementation with RealTerm.
 
in the software folder of the project archive you will find:
 

 rtd_uart_test.bat :
 
  copy this bat file inside the RealTerm software folder to load the program (http://realterm.sourceforge.net/)
 
   passing parameter settings (uart port, speed, display size, etc)
 
  check "RealTerm_line_commands.txt" in the documentation folder for more parameters
  loads a file "Hex_commands.bin" (in BINARY format) and sends it over UART
  known strange behaviour of such method:
 
   COLS=18 doesn't set the number of columns to 18
   relative paths or paths with "" don't work
 
 

 

 py_serial_control.py :
 
  custom very simple script to read and write the UART with Python (http://www.python.org/doc)
  uses the pySerial library (http://pyserial.sourceforge.net/)
  
    parses human readable parameters and translates them into the correct hex commands
     e.g: >> update --> 0x8000 0x00000000
     include a basic 'help' menu
  
  Customize your script
  
    define your commands
    DEFINE the number of registers to expect back after an update
  
  Browse to you script folder
  
    from a shell type: python py_serial_control.py
    enjoy ! :) 
  
  to be implemented:
  
    load parameters and commands from files
    improve readback print on screen formatting
    make a generic nregister readout
