NetBurner 3.1
Multi-threaded TTY Serial Terminal (MTTTY)

Multi-Threaded TTY (MTTTY) is a serial terminal utility that you can use to communicate with the RS-232 serial ports on your NetBurner device or development kit. It is multi-threaded in that you can run multiple instances of MTTTY for each serial port.

MTTTY is commonly used for:

  • Displaying status messages sent from the NetBurner device, such as when using iprintf()
  • As a serial interface to any application

MTTTY can be started from:

  • Inside NBEclipse by clicking on the MTTTY icon
  • From the Windows NetBurner program group
  • From a command line. The path is: .exe

MTTTY FAQ

  • The default serial port used for stdio for NetBurner devices is UART0.
  • The DB9 connector pinout on NetBurner development boards will have the RS-232 rx and tx signals reversed, so that a null-modem adapter is not required and you can use a straight-through serial cable.
  • The DB9 connector pinout on NetBurner Serial-To-Ethernet devices, such as the SB700EX and SB800EX, will be identical to a standard PC type pinout, so a null-modem adapter will be required. (The serial cable that comes with the NetBurner development kits for these specific devices is a null-modem cable)
