Hello,
for evaluation I bought a XMV4500 Relax-Kit Lite.
I expectet that it is possible to communicate directly via a virtual COM-port to a terminal program on the PC using a UART-App with DAVE4 (as is very easy and very handy on all the XMC1000-Series Evaluation boards).
Hovever, I couldn't find any way to do it. From a tutorial I know that a virtual COM-port is installed by the XMC4700 Relax Kit.
Is there really no convenient way using the XMC4500 Relax Kit? (I do not want to use Segger-RTT library, as this is too complicated and unpractical for my taste. I would like to simply have a virtual Comport)

Hi,

The on board debugger of the XMC4500 relaxkit does not implement a VCOM channel.
As alternatives you can use the debugger semihosting or use the RXD/TXD signals in the pin header and use a USB/Serial converte, i.e. https://www.adafruit.com/product/3309
