Run the project

Once uploaded to the board, the project should start running.

Manage the serial console after upload

By default, the Fast target opens a serial console in a Terminal window once the sketch has been uploaded to the board.

In case you prefer not to open the serial console,

  • Open the main Makefile.

  • Set the variable NO_SERIAL_CONSOLE in the main Makefile to true.

 Serial console for Fast target
 ----------------------------------
 For Fast target, open serial console, false or true

NO_SERIAL_CONSOLE = true
  • Otherwise, comment the line with a leading #, set the value to false or leave it empty.
NO_SERIAL_CONSOLE = false
NO_SERIAL_CONSOLE =

Use external serial console applications

As an alternative to the serial console on a Terminal window, I recommend CoolTerm and PuTTY .

The variable NO_SERIAL_CONSOLE option only affects the Fast target. The All and Serial targets are not concerned.

Some boards use the same serial port for upload and serial console.

  • Ensure the serial console is disconnected before proceeding with the upload.
