Launching the Console Application

Now that you have successfully set up your hardware platform, you are ready to run the console application.

1. Upon power-on, the console application should already be running. It will be necessary to open a terminal and configure a

serial connection to interact with the console application. Do this by opening tera term (which can be downloaded from

http://en.sourceforge.jp/projects/ttssh2/releases/) or a similar terminal emulation software package.

2. Tera term may display an error when it starts up if it tries to connect to a COM port where no device is present. It is safe to

ignore this warning, so click OK. Next, open the “Setup” menu and click the “Serial Port…” option.

3. Now select the appropriate COM port that your ZedBoard setup is connected to. If you are not sure which this is, refer to

the Device Manager. Configure your serial connection with 115200 Baud, 8 bit data, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow

control, and then click OK.

4. You should now have a live connection open to the console application running on the ZedBoard. Press enter and the

console application will display the main menu from which you can perform several tasks on the MS8607 digital pressure

sensor.
