Hello,
To establish a serial connection between your Verdin development board and a Windows PC using the USB Type-C port, please follow these steps:
-
Verify Driver Installation: Ensure that the FTDI driver is correctly installed. The presence of
ftd2xx.dllinC:\Windows\System32is a good sign. However, double-check that the driver is properly associated with the USB device by:- Opening Device Manager on your Windows PC.
- Expanding the ‘Universal Serial Bus controllers’ section.
- Looking for any devices with a yellow exclamation mark, which indicates a driver issue.
-
Check USB Connection: Confirm that the USB Type-C cable is functioning correctly. Try using a different cable or port on your PC to rule out hardware issues.
-
Device Recognition: If the device is not recognized at all, it might be due to a power issue or a faulty connection. Ensure the board is powered on and the connection is secure.
-
Alternative Connection Methods: If the USB Type-C port continues to be unrecognized, consider using another method to establish a serial connection:
- Use a different USB port on the development board if available.
- Try connecting via Ethernet and using SSH if the board is network-enabled.
-
Terminal Emulator Setup: Since your PuTTY connection is working, ensure that the correct COM port is selected in PuTTY. If the device is recognized, it should appear as a COM port in Device Manager.
-
Reinstall Drivers: As a last resort, uninstall the FTDI drivers and reinstall them. Sometimes, a fresh installation can resolve recognition issues.
By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and establish a serial connection between your Verdin development board and your Windows PC.
