How can I use the serial port on the RT-LAB target

Question:

Can I use the serial ports (COM1 / COM2)  on the RT-LAB target?

Answer:

Yes, you can use the generic serial port on your RT-LAB target by following the guide attached. Example models are located under:

C:\OPAL-RT\RT-LABx.y.z\Examples\IO\_Generic_\async_serial\

Add-on:

Regarding the activation of the COM ports on the target (through the BIOS), one more setting is required: COM1 must be set on IRQ4 and COM2 must be set on IRQ3. If both ports are set on the same IRQ, they will be enabled (ser1 and ser2 will be displayed under /dev/) but will not be functional with RT-LAB.
