USB to UART driver for Windows 10 (Cypress)

carlitos.cespedes@gmail.com
carlitos.cespedes@gmail.com over 8 years ago

The Cypress USB to UART driver does NOT work on Windows 10 Home. I also tried on Windows 7.

The driver installation program finishes "correctly" however under Device Manager I can never see the Cypress device when zedboard is poweredup.

I cannot see any UART output when plugging to J17 USB port on Zedboard from xterm on desktop.

    The post mentioned does not solve my problem.

    When I connect cable and power-on the Zedboard I do not see any new device listed in Device manager. I only see the same COM1 port that has been there before.

    If I try to update the drivers for such COM1 port and select Win7 drivers from Cypress installed folders then it does change the type of the port to USB serial port but still does not work. I never see any amber light flashing and no output on the console terminal.

    I tried this same procedure with Win10 drivers from same Cypress folders and got the same results. Between each attempt I restarted windows after uninstalling previous driver and restarted again after installing new driver. I also tried with both drivers CypressSerial and CypressUsbAndBus.

    Really need help for my specific problem please.

    The problem was on my end, inadvertently I started connecting to JATG Prog port instead of the UART port.

    They are very clsoe together on the Zedboard, jeje.
