Customise the serial port

The serial port is used for the upload of the sketches and for the console.

Each platform has a different implementation of the USB port naming.

To change the serial port,

  • Open the main Makefile.

  • Uncomment the line BOARD_PORT by removing the leading # and define the serial port.

BOARD_PORT = /dev/tty.usbACM1

To know the USB port name of the active board, proceed as follow:

  • Launch a Terminal window

  • Plug the board on the USB port.

  • Run the following command and note the name of the port.

ls /dev/ttyACM*
/dev/tty.usbACM1

By default, the speed of the serial port is set to 1152000. To change it,

  • Open the main Makefile.

  • Uncomment the line SERIAL_BAUDRATE and set the desired speed.

 SERIAL_BAUDRATE for the serial console, 115200 by default
 Uncomment and specify another speed

SERIAL_BAUDRATE = 230400
