Hi all,
Any chance you lot can help with this problem?
I'm sending data from a UART onboard an FPGA to COM1 on my XP desktop. It's straight forward, no handshaking etc, 115200 baud communication.
Using MTTTY, I can receive characters sent to the COM port if I disable all flow control options, as expected. However, if I try to receive data with Hyperterminal (again with no flow control), I get nothing at all. I also get nothing if I use the Windows API stuff through C++.
I guess that the same problem is affecting my C++ code and Hyperterminal. I need to eventually get the C++ stuff working, so if anyone can suggest why MTTTY works but Hyperterminal doesn't, I'd be very grateful.
Many thanks,
TLS
