AN018: Communication with a PC Application

Abstract: Many embedded applications share information with external devices, and the preferred connection between devices is asynchronous serial communications. The multi-core architecture of the P8X32A enables the designer to create and deploy device-to-device communications strategies with no impact on the primary application code. In this example a deployed communications support cog manages data between the main application and the serial I/O firmware, usingVB.NET and the P8X32A QuickStart board.
