USB-UART Bridge

The KitProg on both the BLE Pioneer Baseboard and BLE Dongle acts as a USB-UART bridge.
When connected to PC, a device named KitProg USB-UART is available under Ports (COM &
LPT) in the Device Manager. The UART lines between modules and KitProg are hard-wired on
board, with UART_RX assigned to P1_4 and UART_TX assigned to P1_5 on PSoC 4 BLE/PRoC
BLE device.
COM terminal software, such as Hyperterminal or TeraTerm, can be used to send and receive data.
UART data sent from PSoC 4 BLE/PRoC BLE device on UART_TX line will be received by the
software. Data entered in the software will be received by PSoC 4 BLE/PRoC BLE on UART_RX
line. Refer to Advanced section in
