How can I read "Hello World" in the console?

Question

Ciao,
I'm a new Digi Connect Me user.
I'm trying to run the "Hello World" application in this way:
1. Open Sample Project
2. Compile it
3. Update device's flash
.....
and then?
How can I use this application?
Where can I read the "Hello World" string? in the console?
What is it the correct setting of the serial port? 9600,8,none,1,none?
What have I to select as debugger?

Pls, HELP ME....
I know my questions are very stupid [(]
but I don't find this informations from anywhere

Thanks

Answer 1

When you build application it is builded in debug mode by default. You can change that in project properties by making Debug/Release mode as "Active".

So for trial i will not suggest flashing the image onto flash.
You can follow the below procedure:-

1.Build in debug mode.
2.Connect Digi JLink JTAG debugger to PC via usb and connect debugger to dev board.
3. Right click on project and click debug.
4. This should debug your application via debugger.
You can see the o/p in standard serial terminal in the baudrate what you have mentioned. This the default settings.
5. Debugger will pause at a break point and click continue.
6. You can see o/p in serial terminal.
7. Digi ESP has inbuild serial terminal. You can select it from Windows option.

Ciao,

thanks for your answer.
I tried as you suggest me.....but nothing to do.
I'm thinking that the application image is not flashed in the module.
How can I check?

I remember, few months ago, with windows XP I have not had this problem.
Now, with windows 7.....
Do you think there is a relation with the OS in my pc?.

Thanks a lot.

Bye

Hello can you see any output on the serial console? Something like the output below: If you can not see similar output weather you flashed the device or you are using a jlink then your terminal must be disconnected. If you can see output when using the jlink debugger but not after you flash the image.bin into the module then the image might be corrupted. When rebooting the board after you reflash the image.bin file make sure the jlink debugger is disconnected from the dev. board.
