2.1 USB to Serial Driver

The DA16200 evaluation board supports both serial port (UART) and USB port (default USB). The

user just needs to connect with a micro USB cable and then two COM ports will be detected

automatically.

● If USB port is used, install the FT232 Driver for windows

● In most cases, it will be installed automatically

The FTDI driver for the FT2232 FTDI chip used on the Pro-DK motherboard can be found at

following download link: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM21224_Setup.zip

After connecting the PC and the EVB board, two ports will be detected.

● Please see your EVK User Guide to find the UART1 port. GUI tool is using UART1 port.
