USB Virtual COM Port Configuration Method
When the Xtreme/Multi-I/O USB port is connected to a Windows computer and combined with the supplied
inf
file it will create a virtual serial port that can be accessed using a serial terminal program like putty,
realterm, or equivalent, to configure the port settings interactively.
This method is great for doing experiments with the board’s setup for your application. The final setting
choices could then the committed to a CONFIG.TXT file so that the settings can be applied to other boards
using the
Configuration File Method
(described above).
NOTE: Port settings like baud rate, bits etc. do not matter when configuring the board via the virtual serial
port
Setup commands are entered by typing them on the terminal application’s used interface, or by using the file
sending (or transfer) facility of that application.
Each command is processed upon pressing “ENTER” key (CR character) and feedback is given in an “OK” or
“ERROR” with details format.
IMPORTANT: In order to have the settings committed to Non Volatile memory the “UPD” command must be
the last command executed. Certain settings will take effect as soon as the UPD command is executed, but
some settings (which affect the PC/104 IO or Memory address settings or interrupt settings) will not take effect
until the board is reset (or powered down then up again).
