FINDING ASSIGNED COM PORT NUMBER
Install the drivers for the USB-to-UART converter on each USB
port used with the board. After installation, the PC detects the
drivers as a regular communication port. Note that there is no
serial number assigned to either the USB-to-UART board or the
emulator pod and, therefore, several boards can be used on the
same USB port without the need to install the driver. To
determine which COM port number has been assigned to the
connected board, open the
Device Manager
under Windows
using the following steps:
1.
Click the
Start
button located at the bottom left-hand
corner of the desktop.
2.
Select
Control Panel
, then
System
to open the
System
Properties
window.
3.
Select the
Hardware
tab and click
Device Manager
(see
