2.1 Communication Protocol

This component is used to configure which communication protocol is being used for data transfer between the Bootloader and the Host application.

Description: This component was added into the bootloader UI to give users the ability to select any of the supported protocols for enabling communication between the bootloader code and the host application. Supported protocols will include UART, USART and EUSART.

Example: There are two main steps to configuring a communication interface for the bootloader. Simply click anywhere in the Communication Protocol box to see a drop-down menu with all the options currently available for the bootloader. Select the protocol and attach the specific driver version from that module’s MCC tab. Refer to the Use Case Examples section for more information on the setup step for this option.
