Serial Console Setup

All the applications listed in this user’s guide use the Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) interface on SAML21 Xplained Pro to send the status messages, like Scanning, Advertising, Connected and the sensor data, from a remote device. Any serial application (for example: Tera Term) can be used to interact with SAML21 Xplained Pro.

The following table provides the UART (COM port) settings to be used to communicate with the SAML21 Xplained Pro.
