Serial communication not working on STEVAL-IDB008V1M demo applications

settinger

I have an STEVAL-IDB008V1M connected to my Windows 10 PC by USB. I have installed the BlueNRG-2 navigator v.3.2.2. After flashing "Hello, World," a terminal sometimes pops up, and other times I must open one myself. Either way, no text is being printed in the serial terminal.

When using PuTTY, I have configured the settings to be: 115200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow control. Is this correct? The user manual never states what the serial terminal settings should be for these micro-examples, only for later examples.

Thank you for any suggestions you might have.

The settings are correct, by default they are:

- BaudRate = 115200 baud  

- Word Length = 8 Bits

- One Stop Bit

- No parity

- Hardware flow control disabled (RTS and CTS signals)

- Receive and transmit enabled

The prebuild firmware under SDK shall have been tested working before each time releasing the SDK.

Please test with the prebuild firmware. In case it does not work, chances are something is wrong with your environment - HW connection, VCOM driver, or terminal application, etc.

Please also be careful that the images for STEVAL-IDB008V1M (BlueNRG-M2SA) is different from the one for STEVAL-IDB008V1 (BlueNRG-2).
