Plug a miniUSB cable between the FOX Board USB device port and a USB host port on your PC. Type from the board command line: modprobe gserial Windows should recognize the gadget serial device and ask for a driver. Tell Windows to find the driver in the folder that contains the linux-cdc-acm.inf file. For example, on Windows XP, when the gadget serial device is first plugged in, the 'Found New Hardware Wizard' starts up. With a portfolio of over 500 serial/USB connectivity products, Moxa has been committed to providing reliable industrial solutions for device connectivity since 1987. As a worldwide industry leader, our portfolio includes products with industry-specific certifications for harsh environments, rail applications, intelligent transportation systems, and power automation.
Communicate with Xilinx development boards via USB.
- Today we’ll talk about opportunities of managing printers and their drivers from the command prompt in Windows 10/ 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2/ 2016. We will consider how to install a new local or network printer, print driver, create a TCP/IP print port, print a test page, delete a driver or printer using simple Windows commands.
- What kind of driver? If it is the serial interface driver, then that gets quite tricky. However, if your driver is an application level above the Windows device driver, then it's fairly easy to replace the i/o behavior by altering the string passed to CreateFile, or whatever layer on top of that C# uses.
Xilinx boards are equipped with Silabs devices as terminal communication, RS232, medium. To be able to talk to an application, such as a PicoBlaze 8-bit processor application, your Linux machine must have the appropriate Silabs drivers.Ubuntu 12.04LTS and later is default equipped with the Silabs drivers! No installation of drivers is necessary.The only thing necessary is to check whether the Ubuntu machine can communicate over USB with the attached Xilinx development board.
To do this:
- Connect the PC via an USB cable to the USB UART port of the Xilinx development board.
- Turn the board on.
Open a terminal on you Ubuntu machine by pressing:
To find if the Silabs driver on the PC understood that a hardware device is connected, type:
The output text of this command in the terminal is something like this:
The last line, can be on your system another line, shows that the Silabs device on the Xilinx development board has been detected and that the drivers on the PC are running.
To find out what RS232 (UART) port is used by the USB driver, type:
The terminal return text looks like:

Again, on your machine the numbers might be different. The important line for us is that telling where the driver connects to a TTY port, in this case it is line three 'cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB2'.
GTKterm
Setup the communication with a terminal window so that commands can be exchanged with the application running in the FPGA on the development board.
I'm using here GTKterm as an example but any other debug terminal program can be used.If GTKterm is not installed on you machine and you want to use it:
- Open via the DASH (Unity) the Ubuntu Software Center.
- Type in the search window (top right) GTKterm
- While typing the screen will look as the figure below:
- Install the Serial Port Terminal.
- Now GTKterm is installed and available for use.Start it from the open terminal window as root.
- Provide your sudo password and the serial terminal GUI will appear. Click 'Configuration' and select 'Port', as shown in the figure below.
Staffontime Terminal Port Devices Drivers
- In the pop-up window browse to the USB TTY port as shown in the figure below.
- Set the speed, bits and party and start working/playing.
