Speed Serial utility

Post by SeeCwriter »

I'm going through the Eclipse IDE Getting Started Guide, which is the latest off the website and is dated Sept. 2009.
In creating the first project and setting up a debug run configuration, it says to set the connection type to "Speed
Serial" and use the "Speed Serial Debug utility". I cannot find a "Speed Serial" utility in the installation (NNDK
v2.6.6) and I'm not finding one on the NB website. But there is a MTTTY serial terminal utility. Would be what I would
use?

What makes you think there is a different Getting Started Guide?

I just went to the Documents and Downloads page (http://www.netburner.com/support/doc-s-and-downloads)
and downloaded the Getting Started Guide for the NANO54415 and it is the same one I'm using. It's dated Sept 2009,
which I believe is before the NANO was released.

But we seem to have gotten off on a Rabbit trail. Coming back to my original question. Is the MTTTY serial terminal
utility the substitute for the [defunct?] "Speed Serial Debug" utility?

In my nburn\pcbin folder there is a program called "FastSerialDebug.exe" I suspect that is what you are looking for. MTTY is just a serial port terminal program. I've never noticed this before, I suspect most of for years have just been doing debugging over Ethernet because its so much faster and more convenient.

I have a MOD5213. SpeedSerial is only used for the Mod5213 because it does not have a network interface. It is used to handle the firmware updates and normally run from within nbeclipse.

SpeedSerial has nothing to do with MTTTY - totally separate programs and uses.

You do not use speedserial for your nano in any way.

I just figured out the stupid thing I did wrong. I'm going through the Getting Started Guide following the steps to create a project and download it, and on page 25 I just noticed that it says "Network platform" at the top of the page, and when I turn the page to where it starts telling me to select "Speed Serial", I see that at the top of the page it says for "Non-network platforms". Oy vey!
