Go to the device manager and click on the device needing the driver that you posted the ID for. Click on the driver tab. Click on Update Driver. Select the Browse my computer for driver software option, and browse to the driver folder you unzipped. Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked and the driver should install. Then restart the PC. The CP210x USB to UART Bridge Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers are required for device operation as a Virtual COM Port to facilitate host communication with CP210x products. These devices can also interface to a host using the direct access driver. Download new and previously released drivers including support software, bios, utilities, firmware and patches for Intel products. Features of the Active USB-COM Port Driver 1.Features: The USB device can be removed from the PC USB Port while the application opens the Serial Port with which the USB; device is connected. (It will be kept opening when the USB device is plugged into the USB Port again.) The Virtual Serial Port is always existed on PC even if USB device is. The EP440 is a 32-bit PCI-to-PCI transparent bridge used for bus expansion. With the bridge IP core, the PCI bus system can be expanded virtually without limit to accommodate many PCI devices. Based on address mapping programmed to the core, the bridge selectively forwards transactions across the primary and secondary buses while keeping local.

This section provides guidance how to establish serial connection between ESP32 and PC.

Connect ESP32 to PC¶

Connect the ESP32 board to the PC using the USB cable. If device driver does not install automatically, identify USB to serial converter chip on your ESP32 board (or external converter dongle), search for drivers in internet and install them.

Below are the links to drivers for ESP32 boards produced by Espressif:

• CP210x: CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers

• FTDI: FTDI Virtual COM Port Drivers

The drivers above are primarily for reference. Under normal circumstances, the drivers should be bundled with an operating system and automatically installed upon connecting one of the listed boards to the PC.

Check port on Windows¶

Check the list of identified COM ports in the Windows Device Manager. Disconnect ESP32 and connect it back, to verify which port disappears from the list and then shows back again.

Figures below show serial port for ESP32 DevKitC and ESP32 WROVER KIT

Check port on Linux and macOS¶

To check the device name for the serial port of your ESP32 board (or external converter dongle), run this command two times, first with the board / dongle unplugged, then with plugged in. The port which appears the second time is the one you need:

Linux

macOS

Note

macOS users: if you don’t see the serial port then check you have the USB/serial drivers installed as shown in the Getting Started guide for your particular development board. For macOS High Sierra (10.13), you may also have to explicitly allow the drivers to load. Open System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General and check if there is a message shown here about “System Software from developer …” where the developer name is Silicon Labs or FTDI.

Adding user to dialout on Linux¶

The currently logged user should have read and write access the serial port over USB. On most Linux distributions, this is done by adding the user to dialout group with the following command:

on Arch Linux this is done by adding the user to uucp group with the following command:

Make sure you re-login to enable read and write permissions for the serial port.

Verify serial connection¶

Now verify that the serial connection is operational. You can do this using a serial terminal program by checking if you get any output on the terminal after reseting ESP32.

Windows and Linux¶

In this example we will use PuTTY SSH Client that is available for both Windows and Linux. You can use other serial program and set communication parameters like below.

Run terminal, set identified serial port, baud rate = 115200, data bits = 8, stop bits = 1, and parity = N. Below are example screen shots of setting the port and such transmission parameters (in short described as 115200-8-1-N) on Windows and Linux. Remember to select exactly the same serial port you have identified in steps above.

Setting Serial Communication in PuTTY on Linux¶

Then open serial port in terminal and check, if you see any log printed out by ESP32. The log contents will depend on application loaded to ESP32, see Example Output.

Note

Close the serial terminal after verification that communication is working. If you keep the terminal session open, the serial port will be inaccessible for uploading firmware later.

macOS¶

To spare you the trouble of installing a serial terminal program, macOS offers the screen command.

• As discussed in Check port on Linux and macOS, run:

• You should see similar output:

• The output will vary depending on the type and the number of boards connected to your PC. Then pick the device name of your board and run:

  Replace device_name with the name found running ls/dev/cu.*.

• What you are looking for is some log displayed by the screen. The log contents will depend on application loaded to ESP32, see Example Output. To exit the screen session type Ctrl-A + .

Note

Do not forget to exit the screen session after verifying that the communication is working. If you fail to do it and just close the terminal window, the serial port will be inaccessible for uploading firmware later.

Example Output¶

An example log by ESP32 is shown below. Reset the board if you do not see anything.

If you can see readable log output, it means serial connection is working and you are ready to proceed with installation and finally upload of application to ESP32.

Note

For some serial port wiring configurations, the serial RTS & DTR pins need to be disabled in the terminal program before the ESP32 will boot and produce serial output. This depends on the hardware itself, most development boards (including all Espressif boards) do not have this issue. The issue is present if RTS & DTR are wired directly to the EN & GPIO0 pins. See the esptool documentation for more details.

If you got here from Step 6. Connect Your Device when installing s/w for ESP32 development, then you can continue with Step 7. Configure.

2.1. About this guide¶

This guide describes the basics of the PCI Express Port Bus driverand provides information on how to enable the service drivers toregister/unregister with the PCI Express Port Bus Driver.

2.2. What is the PCI Express Port Bus Driver¶

A PCI Express Port is a logical PCI-PCI Bridge structure. Thereare two types of PCI Express Port: the Root Port and the SwitchPort. The Root Port originates a PCI Express link from a PCI ExpressRoot Complex and the Switch Port connects PCI Express links tointernal logical PCI buses. The Switch Port, which has its secondarybus representing the switch’s internal routing logic, is called theswitch’s Upstream Port. The switch’s Downstream Port is bridging fromswitch’s internal routing bus to a bus representing the downstreamPCI Express link from the PCI Express Switch.

A PCI Express Port can provide up to four distinct functions,referred to in this document as services, depending on its port type.PCI Express Port’s services include native hotplug support (HP),power management event support (PME), advanced error reportingsupport (AER), and virtual channel support (VC). These services maybe handled by a single complex driver or be individually distributedand handled by corresponding service drivers.

2.3. Why use the PCI Express Port Bus Driver?¶

In existing Linux kernels, the Linux Device Driver Model allows aphysical device to be handled by only a single driver. The PCIExpress Port is a PCI-PCI Bridge device with multiple distinctservices. To maintain a clean and simple solution each servicemay have its own software service driver. In this case severalservice drivers will compete for a single PCI-PCI Bridge device.For example, if the PCI Express Root Port native hotplug servicedriver is loaded first, it claims a PCI-PCI Bridge Root Port. Thekernel therefore does not load other service drivers for that RootPort. In other words, it is impossible to have multiple servicedrivers load and run on a PCI-PCI Bridge device simultaneouslyusing the current driver model.

To enable multiple service drivers running simultaneously requireshaving a PCI Express Port Bus driver, which manages all populatedPCI Express Ports and distributes all provided service requeststo the corresponding service drivers as required. Some keyadvantages of using the PCI Express Port Bus driver are listed below:

• Allow multiple service drivers to run simultaneously ona PCI-PCI Bridge Port device.
• Allow service drivers implemented in an independentstaged approach.
• Allow one service driver to run on multiple PCI-PCI BridgePort devices.
• Manage and distribute resources of a PCI-PCI Bridge Portdevice to requested service drivers.

2.4. Configuring the PCI Express Port Bus Driver vs. Service Drivers¶

2.4.1. Including the PCI Express Port Bus Driver Support into the Kernel¶

Including the PCI Express Port Bus driver depends on whether the PCIExpress support is included in the kernel config. The kernel willautomatically include the PCI Express Port Bus driver as a kerneldriver when the PCI Express support is enabled in the kernel.

2.4.2. Enabling Service Driver Support¶

PCI device drivers are implemented based on Linux Device Driver Model.All service drivers are PCI device drivers. As discussed above, it isimpossible to load any service driver once the kernel has loaded thePCI Express Port Bus Driver. To meet the PCI Express Port Bus DriverModel requires some minimal changes on existing service drivers thatimposes no impact on the functionality of existing service drivers.

A service driver is required to use the two APIs shown below toregister its service with the PCI Express Port Bus driver (seesection 5.2.1 & 5.2.2). It is important that a service driverinitializes the pcie_port_service_driver data structure, included inheader file /include/linux/pcieport_if.h, before calling these APIs.Failure to do so will result an identity mismatch, which preventsthe PCI Express Port Bus driver from loading a service driver.

2.4.2.1. pcie_port_service_register¶

This API replaces the Linux Driver Model’s pci_register_driver API. Aservice driver should always calls pcie_port_service_register atmodule init. Note that after service driver being loaded, callssuch as pci_enable_device(dev) and pci_set_master(dev) are no longernecessary since these calls are executed by the PCI Port Bus driver.

2.4.2.2. pcie_port_service_unregister¶

pcie_port_service_unregister replaces the Linux Driver Model’spci_unregister_driver. It’s always called by service driver when amodule exits.

2.4.2.3. Sample Code¶

Below is sample service driver code to initialize the port servicedriver data structure.

Below is a sample code for registering/unregistering a servicedriver.

2.5. Possible Resource Conflicts¶

Bridge Systems Bv Port Devices Driver Ed

Since all service drivers of a PCI-PCI Bridge Port device areallowed to run simultaneously, below lists a few of possible resourceconflicts with proposed solutions.

2.5.1. MSI and MSI-X Vector Resource¶

Once MSI or MSI-X interrupts are enabled on a device, it stays in thismode until they are disabled again. Since service drivers of the samePCI-PCI Bridge port share the same physical device, if an individualservice driver enables or disables MSI/MSI-X mode it may resultunpredictable behavior.

To avoid this situation all service drivers are not permitted toswitch interrupt mode on its device. The PCI Express Port Bus driveris responsible for determining the interrupt mode and this should betransparent to service drivers. Service drivers need to know onlythe vector IRQ assigned to the field irq of struct pcie_device, whichis passed in when the PCI Express Port Bus driver probes each servicedriver. Service drivers should use (struct pcie_device*)dev->irq tocall request_irq/free_irq. In addition, the interrupt mode is storedin the field interrupt_mode of struct pcie_device.

2.5.2. PCI Memory/IO Mapped Regions¶

Service drivers for PCI Express Power Management (PME), AdvancedError Reporting (AER), Hot-Plug (HP) and Virtual Channel (VC) accessPCI configuration space on the PCI Express port. In all cases theregisters accessed are independent of each other. This patch assumesthat all service drivers will be well behaved and not overwriteother service driver’s configuration settings.

Each service driver runs its PCI config operations on its owncapability structure except the PCI Express capability structure, inwhich Root Control register and Device Control register are sharedbetween PME and AER. This patch assumes that all service driverswill be well behaved and not overwrite other service driver’sconfiguration settings.
