Installation of FTDI driver is quite simple, extract the driver files, put the FTDI_SER.DLL & FTDI.REG files in " \FlashDisk\System" folder (in case you don't find System folder, create it), double click on FTDI.REG file to import the registry, save the registry using save registry tool ( Start > Programs > ColibriTools > SaveReg).Please check Colibri Evaluation Board schematic for details. You can directly connect these signals to the TXD and RXD signals of UART_A on the Colibri Evaluation Board or you can use the signals to connect to your own UART device. The FTDI chip RXD and TXD is connected to JP17 and JP19 on the Colibri Evaluation Board. We have an FTDI chip (only RXD, TXD) on board which is primarily provided for debug port access via USB (Laptop/PC do not come with COM/Serial port these days). FTDI USB to UART solution can be tested using any Colibri Module (PXAxxx, Txx, VFxx) with Colibri Evaluation Board V3.1.For readily available USB to RS232/RS485 modules, check here.For FTDI USB to UART Chips, check here.
As per FTDI website drivers are supported for WinCE5.0/6.0/7.0. Is this page helpful? USB2Serial Extra UART/Serial ports FTDI Chips įTDI has USB to UART/Serial converter chips which can be used with our modules running WinCE Image.
