Hello,
To connect to your Verdin development board’s serial debug console using PuTTY on Windows, please follow these steps:
1. Hardware Setup:
Use a USB Type-C to USB Type-A cable and connect it to the X66 connector on your Verdin development board.
Plug the other end into your Windows PC.
(Tip: If the board is not detected, try using another USB-C cable, as some may lack data lines or be of low quality.)
2. Identify the Serial Port:
On your Windows PC, open “Device Manager” (search for it in Control Panel).
Look under the “Ports (COM & LPT)” section.
You will see four new COM ports listed—choose the highest numbered one (e.g., if you see COM3, COM4, COM5, and COM6, use COM6).
Do NOT use the first or second port, as they are reserved for power/reset control and FTDI JTAG. Using them may interfere with board operation.
3. PuTTY Configuration:
Launch PuTTY.
Select “Serial” as the connection type.
Enter the COM port number you identified earlier.
Set the serial parameters as follows:
Baud Rate (Speed): 115200
Data Bits: 8
Stop Bits: 1
Parity: None
Flow Control: None
4. Board Configuration:
No additional configuration is needed on the Verdin board for basic serial console access; it comes pre-configured for debug UART.
For more details, you can refer to the step-by-step guide here:
The AI response looks good to me. Just to reiterate, no additional board configuration is needed. I’d suggest also reading our article on Configuring Serial Port Debug Console. There you will find a section regarding both windows and the Verdin Development Board setup.
