All other application boards require the STMicroelectronics Virtual COM port driver which is

provided within each RF software library package.

1.10.3

Setting up the application serial communication channel

To get full access to all the available commands, some demonstration applications may

require that the application board is interfaced with the user through a serial communication

channel (virtual COM through USB). To set a serial communication channel for the

application board, follow these steps:

Where applicable, fit the application board jumper P2 on position 5-6 (power via USB).

Connect a mini USB cable to the application board mini-USB connector and to a PC

USB port.

Right-click on

My Computer, select Manage, Device Manager, and open Ports (COM

& LPT) to display the related USB COMx port.

Open a hyper terminal on the corresponding USB virtual COMx port with the following

configuration:

–

Bit rate: 115200

–

Data bits: 8

–

Parity: None

–

Stop bits: 1

–

Flow control: None

The STM32-Primer2 and MB850 demonstration applications use the STM32-Primer2

resources (LCD, joystick with button, touch screen display) as I/O communication channels.
