Serial Com Device Port Devices Driver Download For Windows

I originally started developing with the LPC2368 beta unit on a Windows XP machine. All was working fine with the Windows serial port driver. When the new (current) driver was released, I started using that and it wored fine. I then added a Vista machine to my office. I then loaded the new drivers onto the Vista machine and all worked fine.

Recently, I received my LPC1768 mbed. I tried it on my Vista machine, and had to re-install the Windows serial port driver but all is working well on it. Now, either board works fine on this machine.

I then tried to run the LPC1768 on my XP machine, and again found I had to re-load the Windows Serial Port Driver. When I did, Windows reported that there was a problem and could not start the serial port driver. I tried re-installing it several times, both from the website as well as from a local drive copy. Finally, I went back to my LPC2368 mbed. Re-installed drivers, and everything works fine. Going back to the LPC1768, it fails. It always says the driver could not start. I have uninstalled, re-installed, etc., but to no avail.

Again, everything works fine on my Vista machine, just not on my XP machine, and only with the LPC1768 board...the LPC2368 works fine.

These devices can also interface to a host using the direct access driver. These drivers are static examples detailed in Application Note 197: The Serial Communications Guide for the CP210x. The CP210x Manufacturing DLL and Runtime DLL have been updated and must be used with v 6.0 and later of the CP210x Windows VCP Driver. Download virtual serial port driver for windows 10 64 bit and 32 bit. Choose an appropriate driver from the list available on this page. Eltima software is a global software development company, specializing primarily in serial communication, usb and serial port virtualization and remote access to usb and com port devices.

Any clues as to what might be the issue?

Thanks.

Definition

Represents a serial port. The object provides methods and properties that an app can use to find and interact with serials ports on the system.

Implements

Windows 10 requirements

Examples

Remarks

The serial device capability, serialCommunication, is required to use the SerialDevice class. For more information, see Windows.Devices.SerialCommunication.

Create a SerialDevice object

1. Generate an Advanced Query Syntax (AQS) string that contains search criteria for finding the device in the enumerated device collection. If you have the vendor and product identifiers, call GetDeviceSelectorFromUsbVidPid.
2. Pass the retrieved string to FindAllAsync. The call retrieves a DeviceInformationCollection object.
3. Loop through the collection. Each iteration gets a DeviceInformation object.
4. Get the DeviceInformation.Id property value. The string value is the device interface path. (e.g ?usb#vid_03eb&pid_2157&mi_01#7&1435ec7f&0&0001#{86e0d1e0-8089-11d0-9ce4-08003e301f73}).
5. Call FromIdAsync by passing the device interface string and get the SerialDevice object. If this throws an exception or returns null, it is likely:
   • The device interface path is invalid
   • The device interface path does not respresent a serial device
   • Application is missing the serialCommunication capability
   • The serial device is inaccessible. (see Windows.Devices.SerialCommunication )

Read and write data

You can then use the SerialDevice object to read from or write to the serial port by using the Windows.Storage.Streams namespace.

1. Obtain a reference to the input stream by getting the SerialDevice.InputStream property.
2. Create a DataReader object by specifying the input stream in the DataReader constructor.
3. Obtain a reference to the output stream by getting the SerialDevice.OutputStream property.
4. Create a DataWriter object by specifying the output stream in the DataWriter constructor.
