Serial Monitor guide

Using serial monitor

You can use USB built-in dongle on Rialto Board for programming or Serial Monitor purpose.

The only attention is that you must “deselect” COM port in the Flash GUI Tool (or close program) before connect with Terminal (i.e. HyperTerminal)

This is because the same COM port is used by Flash Programmer and (when application firmware starts) by Serial Monitor.

Example: if your Rialto Board is connected to COM4, if possible, change COM Port settings in Flash GUI Programmer BEFORE attempting to connect HyperTerminal

Best way is to close NXP Flash GUI Tool before connect Terminal to device COM port.

Note

Startup messages are same in End-Node and Coordinator

Coordinator Serial Monitor

When Coordinator is power up, it sends (in sequence):

and after starts main menu as follow:

Serial Monitor main messages and commands

• End-Node detected and associated

• End-Node poll fail and dissociated (details orange circled)

• Send data to End-Node (“W” command)

- Sendig data to End-Node result

Red circled: detail of data message

Blue circled: sending End_Node address

Green circled: data string hex format

Yellow circled: data string terminator (same for all data sending)

Orange circled: Data sending result

Important

In the Coordinator Monitor W command will send a “string” to a selected End_Node. You can see the received message inside End_Node Serial Monitor addressed by Coordinator

• Network status (“N” command)

• Set Coordinator PAN.ID (‘c’ command)

Please, note that ‘c’ command (lowercase) set only coordinator PAN.ID. To configure all network PAN.ID, use ‘C’ command (uppercase)

• Set network PAN.ID (“C” command)

- See image below:

Red circled: detail of PAN.ID configuration message

Blue circled: PAN.ID message status

Green circled: PAN.ID network global settings

after system restart

• Default PAN.ID (“I” command)

• Request End-Node ADXL362 data (“S” command)

• Received End-Node ADXL362 data

• Request End-Node SENS300 data (“3” command)

• Received End-Node SENS300 data

Important

All sensors data are transmitted in 32 bit HEX format, without any conversion in ASCII format. Values are position dependent, and must be read scanning the data string received

Note

In the Coordinator Monitor S and 3 command will answers a selected End_Node to read and send sensor data. You can see sensor data both in End_Node monitor and Coordinator monitor

• Disable verbose mode (”!” command)

Note

In the Coordinator Serial Monitor, verbose mode is also set by SerizII. With verbose mode disabled, Serial Monitor messages are limited to data string and few other information. Check by yourself this operation mode.

End-Node Serial Monitor

• End-Node main menu

• Coordinator found, End-Node association

• Coordinator lost, End-Node dissociation

• Set data to send to Coordinator (“W” command)

- Data sending

Blue arrow: string to send

Orange circled: hex string format

Red circled: End-Node address that send the message

Blue circled: Data sending result

• End-Node network status (“N” command)

• End-Node ADXL362 data sending (“S” command)

• End-Node SENS300 data sending (“3” command)

• End-Node Auto Send Sensors Data toggle (”!” command)

disable auto send

enable auto send

• End-Node Sleep Mode (“Z” command)

Important

In End-Node module, configuration command “C” perform only local device PAN.ID settings. If you use this command, End-Node will dissociate himself until it find a Coordinator with same new PAN.ID. The setting sequence is identical to that of the Coordinator command “c”(lowercase)
