B4R Question Serial port question

[whcir]

Can the serial port that is used to program the arduino be used by the device after it is disconnected from the programming computer? What are the optional config parameters in "Initialize2 (BaudRate As ULong, Config As Byte)" As void. Also, can the program be compiled by the b4r ide and then load the hex file with a conventional programmer using ISP interface

load the hex file with a conventional programmer using ISP interface

In the deepness of my system-drive I find this hex file after "compile and run":
src.ino.hex
That should be what you are looking for.
You have to "disconnect" logging within the B4R IDE to unlock the com-port from the B4R IDE. Afterwards I can upload the hex file with the Arduino bootloader and it works. Surely also ISP can be used.
"Printing" (Using "Asyncstreams" in the language of B4X) then should also work. I have not tried yet

Yes. You can also prevent the IDE logger from being connected at all by setting the Logs option to B4J Serial Connector or None:

Using the B4J Serial Connector you can automate it: [tool] External Serial Connector

Thanks Erel

Can you tell me what are the optional config parameters in "Initialize2 (BaudRate As ULong, Config As Byte)" As void? I am assuming they are baud, parity and stop bits but how are configured as a byte?
