USB-to-UART Interface
USB-to-UART interface is Included on the evaluation board with ESD protection
This interface includes an integrated USB-to-UART bridge controller (U16) to provide a standard UART
connection with the SmartFusion MSS UART0 port. One application of the USB-to-UART interface is to
allow HyperTerminal on a PC to communicate with the SmartFusion cSoC. HyperTerminal is a serial
communications application program that can be installed in the Windows operating system. A basic
HyperTerminal program is usually distributed with Windows. With a USB driver properly installed, and the
correct COM port and communication settings selected, use the HyperTerminal program to communicate
with a design running on the SmartFusion cSoC.
The following table lists the supported UART parameters for HyperTerminal applications.
