Step 6 – Setting up USB connection
If your PC does not dispose of a serial interface you can instead use the USB interface of the
DB54 to establish a serial connection. For USB connectivity a separate software driver
(
USBTERM.EXE
) is needed on the IPC@CHIP
®
. This driver should already be preinstalled on
the DB54 at factory setting. Anyway, please follow these steps to verify that the driver exists
and is listed inside the
AUTOEXEC.BAT
file of the IPC@CHIP
®
’s internal drive.
You need to copy and extract the
USBTERM.ZIP
archive from the Getting Started section of
the CD or from the Getting Started webpage to the local hard drive of your PC.
The extracted archive also contains the USB Terminal Emulation software.
1. If it does not already exist, copy the file
USBTERM.EXE
to the root directory of your
IPC@CHIP
®
using the @CHIPTOOL FTP client.
2. Right-click the file
AUTOEXEC.BAT
from the IPC@CHIP
®
’s flash drive. (If none exists,
create an empty file on your local drive and transfer it to the IPC@CHIP
®
.)
3. Select
Edit
from the pop-up menu.
4. An editor will open. If it does not already exist, add the filename
USBTERM.EXE
in a new
line. This will start the driver on boot.
5. Save the file and close the Editor. The file will automatically be reloaded to the chip.
6. Plug the USB Device Interface (Mini-B jack) of your Development Board DB54 into your
PC’s USB interface.
7. Reboot
your
DB54 by pressing its
Reset
button.
8. Your PC will notice a new USB device and show a message in the system tray.
9. Select in the first window of the wizard
No, not this time
and click the
Next
button.
