Hi, new guy here.

   

I was wondering if I could (re)use the KitProg connection to my PC as a diagnostics channel for debugging. I want to send debug messages from the board to the PC (terminal).

   

Using the CY8CKit-059 for the 5PL.

Welcome in the forum, ObiWanJacobi 😉   (Jacob??)

   

The Kitprog has got an USB-UART bridge. On the PC-side you may use a terminal program as PuTTY and connect it to the emulated COM- port the Kitprog maintains. On the PSoC side you have to use an UART connected to P12_7 and P12_6.

Ok, so I need to place a UART component and route the RX and TX to those pins - easy.

   

Thanx,
Marc 😉
