PC REQUIREMENTS
WHAT THE MCP2120/22 DEVELOPER’S BOARD KIT INCLUDES:
The PC used has four main requirements. These are:
1. Standard serial port
2. USB port (to power the MCP2120/22 Developer’s Board)
3. Terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal)
4. IrDA standard driver installed, which treats the IR port as a virtual serial port
A non-legacy-free Intel
would meet these requirements. The Windows
program called Hyperterminal. Section D.1 “Configuring the Hyperterminal®
Program” shows instructions to configure Hyperterminal and demonstrate the
developer’s board.
1.4.1
A PC with IR Port can be configured to operate as an encoder/decoder. This User’s
Guide will not get into implementating this type of system due to the uniqueness of each
PC’s drivers.
