Are you using com1/2 to do the talking or is it usb?

 

[samccx27]

I'm using COM 2 to talk to the serializer board. I tried using COM 1 as well but that didn't work either. I can understand COM one not working because it is usually reserved for debug but COM 2 should work according to the code. I tried a sample app from one of the books that uses COM ports and that works just fine so I think I'm wright to say that COM ports are working fine. There is something else that is missing which I'm not able to spot.

Are you running as an admin user?

 

[samccx27]

I don't need to run as an admin. Its a Windows CE OS design I don't require that kind of special privileges to access COM ports. All I have to do is include the required driver components with the OS design and that is all that is needed.

I forgot to mention before I a using eBox 2300 board and using the Vortex_x86_60CS BSP for the OS design. The Basic design is as it is described in the jumpstart guide.
