PC

The following page details configuring your PC such that it can communicate with the target hardware.

Setup

To establish a connection between your PC and the target hardware follow the steps outlined below.

Linux or Mac OS

  1. Check your FTDI kernel module is loaded (on Linux it is built into the kernel, so is likely already loaded):

user@pc> lsmod | grep ftdi_sio

  1. If not, load it:

user@pc> sudo modprobe -v ftdi_sio

  1. If that failed, see here for installation instructions (VCP driver).

  2. A USB device should now be present in /dev/ :

user@pc>ls /dev/ |grep USB1 
ttyUSB1

On some flavours of Linux, we’ve found that the device must be forced to baud 921600, after connecting the target hardware to your PC.

user@pc> stty -F /dev/ttyUSB1 921600

Windows

  1. If not already installed, see here for installation instructions of the FTDI (VCP) driver.
