Usage of the evaluation board

When the board is plugged into the PC and after the device driver is correctly installed, the

evaluation board is ready to communicate. You can use it as a standard communication

COM port. The device will become visible as a new COM port in all common serial

communication programs like Windows Terminal application etc.

The COM port number assignment is based on the USB socket used. Therefore, if you plug

the evaluation board into different USB sockets, the COM port number will change

accordingly.

It is also possible to connect more than one evaluation board into one PC. Each of the

boards is assigned to a different COM port number.

You can use the application USB_FS_test.exe to test the correct functionality of the

evaluation board. The application is included on the supplied CD-ROM.

Warning:

It is not possible to use the loop-back device to test the

evaluation board due to half-duplex limitation.
