Example Program for Interfaces Using Python 3
UART Programming using Python 3
Locate P4 connector on board by referring to hardware manual and short pin 1 (RS232_TX_1) and pin 2(RS232_RX_1) to echo the transmitted data back to board. Short Type the following code in target board and save it with extension .py .
To test this python code, need to add the pyserial package in root file system. in nor rootfs image, this pyserial package was not included. This will be included in sdcard image.

You can also use any other editor from your host PC

to write the code with .py extension and transfer the

python code file to the RuggedBoard. To transfer files
