Speed Serial utility

I'm going through the Eclipse IDE Getting Started Guide, which is the latest off the website and is dated Sept. 2009.
In creating the first project and setting up a debug run configuration, it says to set the connection type to "Speed
Serial" and use the "Speed Serial Debug utility". I cannot find a "Speed Serial" utility in the installation (NNDK
v2.6.6) and I'm not finding one on the NB website. But there is a MTTTY serial terminal utility. Would be what I would
use?

What makes you think there is a different Getting Started Guide?
I just went to the Documents and Downloads page (
http://www.netburner.com/support/doc-s-and-downloads)
and downloaded the Getting Started Guide for the NANO54415 and it is the same one I'm using. It's dated Sept 2009,
which I believe is before the NANO was released.
But we seem to have gotten off on a Rabbit trail. Coming back to my original question. Is the MTTTY serial terminal
utility the substitute for the [defunct?] "Speed Serial Debug" utility?

In my nburn\pcbin folder there is a program called "FastSerialDebug.exe" I suspect that is what you are looking for. MTTY is just a serial port terminal program. I've never noticed this before, I suspect most of for years have just been doing debugging over Ethernet because its so much faster and more convenient.

I have a MOD5213. SpeedSerial is only used for the Mod5213 because it does not have a network interface. It is used to handle the firmware updates and normally run from within nbeclipse.
SpeedSerial has nothing to do with MTTTY - totally separate programs and uses.
You do not use speedserial for your nano in any way.

I just figured out the stupid thing I did wrong. I'm going through the Getting Started Guide following the steps to create a project and download it, and on page 25 I just noticed that it says "Network platform" at the top of the page, and when I turn the page to where it starts telling me to select "Speed Serial", I see that at the top of the page it says for "Non-network platforms". Oy vey!
