Configuration for Serial Connection
To configure the target agent to use a raw serial communication path, add the WDB
serial connection component. (See 2.5.3 Serial-Line Connections, p.34).
By default, the agent uses serial channel 1 at 9600 bps. 7 For better performance, use
the highest line speed available, which is often 38400 bps. Try a slower speed if you
suspect data loss. To change the speed, display the component property sheet,
select the Params tab, select WDB_TTY_BAUD and change the value associated with
it.

Serial Connection Macros
Configuration for tyCoDrv Connection
To configure a version 1.0 BSP target agent to use a serial connection, add the WDB
tyCoDrv connection component. Display the component property sheet and select
the Params tab to display and modify macro values.
Scaling the Target Agent
In a memory-constrained system, you may wish to create a smaller agent. To
reduce program text size, you can remove the following optional agent facilities:
7. VxWorks serial channels are numbered starting at zero. Channel 1 corresponds to the port
labeled COM2 if the board’s ports are labeled starting at 1. If your board has only one serial
port, you must change WDB_TTY_CHANNEL to 0 (zero).
