5.1 TeraTerm Setup

The user application provides a user interface on the TeraTerm terminal through the UART interface.

To set up the TeraTerm program, perform the following steps:

  1. Ensure that the USB cable connects the host PC to the J5 (USB) port on the PolarFire Evaluation board.
  2. Start TeraTerm.
  3. Select Serial as the Connection type.
  4. Set the Serial Port to the second highest COM port number from the drop-down list, see the following figure. For example, COM9: FlashPro5 Port [COM9] in this instance.
    Figure 5-3. Select Serial as the Connection Type
    Important: The COM port number is system specific.
  5. In the TeraTerm window, navigate to Setup > Serial port..., set;
    • Baud rate: 115200
    • Transmit delay: 5 msec/char and 5 msec/line

      Rest of the serial port settings must be at default state, see the following figure, and click OK.
