Description
This example program demonstrates reading from a serial terminal, as described in Text Output and Input.
It uses one core only, and the kernel. There are two threads:
- thread 0: blink LED, to check if our terminal reading is blocking
- thread 1: read strings and integers from the terminal
Thread 1 runs two loops:
- read string: check buffer overflows, FIFO overruns
- read integer: check syntax and out of limits inputs
Entering an empty input switches between the two loops.
Experiment with different buffer sizes and baud-rates, see also Text Output and Input, section Design Considerations.

Set (PuTTY):
- Terminal: local echo and local line editing to
Force on - Speed (baud): 38400
Build and Run
Build module ReadTerminal with Astrobe, and create and upload the UF2 file using abin2uf2.
Set Astrobe’s memory options as listed, and the library search path as explained.
