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.
