eRTOS supports a text-based terminal accessible via the target system’s serial port.
Note: This is only available if eRTOS is configured to boot using MaxRT eRTOS - Debug Mode.

Configuring PuTTY for Serial Connections
A serial terminal emulator must be configured from the development computer. PuTTY is one such terminal emulator that can be configured for serial TTY console connections.
To configure PuTTY for serial connections:
- Determine the COM port used on the development computer.
- Launch the PuTTY terminal emulator. Under Category > Connection, select Serial.
- Set Serial line to connect to to the COM port you want to use. You can locate available COM ports in Device Manager under Ports (COM & LPT).
- Configure the serial line as needed.
- Under Category > Session, set Connection type to Serial.
- Click Open to start serial session.
