New USB-UART connection

Former Member
I have been working with a microZed board that is connected via jtag to my pc. I have configured the microZed board settings in Vivado 2014.4 for this, but now I want to use a new usb uart connection from my pc to the microZed board in addition to the jtag connection. I have enabled the uart port in Vivado, and installed the driver "Silicon Labs CP210x USB-to-UART" online, but still neither the microZed board or the port is appearing on device manager. Any suggestions?

    The MicroZed board in the evaluation kit is a 'standard' MicroZed and does have the USB-UART functionality.

    The SiLabs driver normally installs automatically in Windows 7, as mentioned above, it can take a really long time the first time. You might want to uninstall the driver you installed and let the USB-UART driver install automatically if you can.

    The other thing to check would be the USB port you have connected your MicroZed to. Make sure it can supply enough power for the MicroZed to operate (so no 'passive' or un-powered USB hubs). If you could try a different USB port, or even better a different Host PC, that could rule out any issues with your MicroZed board or cable.

    I have tried to let my PC automatically install the needed driver but nothing pops up on device manager. I have tried with multiple PCs and USB ports.
