Serial Port Drivers
From a Windows* client machine (for instance, a work laptop), install the serial port drivers,
located at the following address:
http://www.silabs.com/Support%20Documents/Software/ CP210x_VCP_Windows.zip
Save and run the driver install file.
Follow the on-screen prompts to install the driver.
Obtain a mini-USB cable (USB Mini B). Connect the mini-USB end of the cable to the mini-
USB connection on the front of the Mohon Peak CRB. Connect the other end of the cable to
the Windows* client machine.
On the Windows* client machine, open the Device Manager to find the COM# of the Silicon
Labs Dual CP210x USB to UART Bridge: Standard COM Port. This will be visible under
Ports (COM & LPT).
Download (if necessary) and install a terminal emulator (for example, PuTTY). Select the
Serial connection type, update the COM#, and set the speed to 115200. Open the
connection.
When booting the Mohon Peak CRB, debug messages should be displayed. Some console
information will also be redirected over the serial port.
