Serial Communication

Before you can create and run a target application, you need to set up the connection between your host and target computers. You can use either serial or network communication. This section includes the following topics:

• Hardware for Serial Communication -- Use a null modem cable to connect the host PC to the target PC
• Environment Properties for Serial Communication -- Enter information about the C/C++ compiler you installed on the host PC and the COM port you connected to the null modem cable

For using network communication, see Network Communication.
