K60 Tower System SD demo

danielchai — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 20:56:51 GMT

Hi all,

I have a problem in the TWR-K60N512 tower board. I installed the P&E serial toolkit, but when I try to use Terminal Utility to open the USB COM, it failed in open serial port. I check the device manager and all drivers are installed correctly.

Any ideas about this?

Thanks.

Hi Daniel,

The latest OSBDM firmware provides a virtual serial port for OSBDM serial. Please check Windows computer management to check if the serial terminal software is using the correct serial port. And in your serial code, please check if your are using the OSBDM serial port or TWR-SER board serial port. The OSBDM serial is using UART5, while the TWR-SER board is using UART3. You need to double check the <k60_tower.h> configuration:

/*
* Select the serial port that is being used below. Only one of the
* options should be uncommented at any time.
*/
#define SERIAL_CARD // use this option for serial port on TWR-SER
//#define OSJTAG // use this option for serial port over the OS-JTAG circuit

#if (defined(SERIAL_CARD))
    #define TERM_PORT           UART3_BASE_PTR
    #define TERMINAL_BAUD       115200
    #undef HW_FLOW_CONTROL
#elif (defined(OSJTAG))
    #define TERM_PORT           UART5_BASE_PTR
    #define TERMINAL_BAUD       115200
    #undef HW_FLOW_CONTROL
#else
#error "No valid serial port defined"
#endif

Wish it helps.

Thank you first.

I installed the P&E Tool Kit from the CD. But when I plug in the board through a USB-mini cable, it can not find the driver for it.

Any ideas about this?

Hi,

You need to download and install the OSBDM driver from below link:

[Install Drivers]:

Wish it helps.

Hi,

Thank you.

I tried to install the latest drivers for windows and also installed the OSDBM Virtual Serial ToolKits from the http://www.pemicro.com/osbdm. After installing them, I use the Terminal Utility to open the USB COM but I can not open the port.

Then I check the device management of my PC and it shows

and

In the TWRK60N512QSDLAB.pdf manual, under Jungo there should be a PEMicro USB Serial Port(i1). But in my PC, under Jungo there is no this port. Following the manual, I tried to uninstall the OSBDM/OSJTAG and replug the USB cable but there is still no PEMicro USB Serial Port(i1).

Any ideas about this?

Thank you.

Hi,

Actually, I figure it out. Just the terminal can not recognize the Com port. Now I use Procom and it works.

Thanks.
