Viewing Traces from WICED Smart Tag

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to follow the steps from pages 13-14 of the quick start guide.

I don't have access to hyperterm (which has been extinct since windows vista), I've tried tera term (as suggested in the guide), and also MTTY (windows) and screen (on OSX).

In all cases the trace statements print junk like this:

I've checked bleapp_trace_enable, SW4 switches, etc. - Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong?

Are there any plans to support the SWD interface and proper debugging in a future version of the SDK & IDE?

Did you change the serial port settings 115200 N 8 1?  They usually default to 9600 N 8  1.  If you are getting "garbage" on the screen. That's usually what it is. 

I use PuTTY on Windows and CoolTerm on the Mac with no issues.

Ah yes, thanks, I had omitted to set the speed- I was "speed reading" the guide
