Example description
===================
In modern PCs, USB is the standard communication port for almost all peripherals. 
However many industrial software applications still use the classic COM Port (UART).
The Virtual COM Port Demo provides a simple solution to bypass this problem; it
uses the USB as a COM port by affecting the legacy PC application designed for
COM Port communication.
This Virtual COM Port Demo provides the firmware examples for the STM32F10xxx
family.

More details about this Demo implementation is given in the User manual 
"UM0424 STM32F10xxx USB development kit", available for download from the ST
microcontrollers website: www.st.com/stm32


Directory contents
==================
 + \include: contains the Demo firmware header files
 + \project: contains pre-configured projects for RVMDK, EWARM5, RIDE toolchains
 + \source: contains the Demo firmware source files


Hardware environment
====================
This example runs on "ET-STM32F103(RBT6)" Board. Used USART1 Interface
    
How to use it
=============
 + RVMDK
    - Open the VirtualCOMPort.Uv2 project
    - In the build toolbar select the project config:
        - ET-STM32F103 : to configure the project 
    - Rebuild all files: Project->Rebuild all target files
    - Load project image: Debug->Start/Stop Debug Session
    - Run program: Debug->Run (F5)     

 + EWARM5
    - Open the VirtualCOMPort.eww workspace.
    - In the workspace toolbar select the project config:
        - ET-STM32F103 : to configure the project 
    - Rebuild all files: Project->Rebuild all
    - Load project image: Project->Debug
    - Run program: Debug->Go(F5)

 + RIDE
    - Open the VirtualCOMPort.rprj project.
    - In the configuration toolbar(Project->properties) select the project config:
       - ET-STM32F103 : to configure the project 
    - Rebuild all files: Project->build project
    - Load project image: Debug->start(ctrl+D)
    - Run program: Debug->Run(ctrl+F9)
