CYUSBS232 QUICK START GUIDE USB-UART REFERENCE DESIGN KIT Kit Based on USB-UART LP Bridge – CY7C65213 2 1 Step 1: Software Installation • Download and Unzip the ISO file from www.cypress.com/go/CYUSBS232 • Run cyautorun.exe and follow the steps in the installer window • Install Tera Term from the following location: <install directory>/Cypress/CYUSBS232 RDK/ 1.0/teraterm Step 2: Powering the board* • Connect the board to the PC using the USB cable • LED D1 (as shown in next page) glows to indicate the board is powered 4 Step 4: Testing basic UART functionality 3 Step 3: Enumeration • Device will appear as a USB Serial Port (COM#) in the Device Manager (For example, in Win 7, click Start > Control Panel > Device Manager) • Connect TXD to RXD with the “Jumper wire”, refer picture in next page • Run Tera Term (Start > All Programs > Tera Term) • In ”Tera Term: New Connection“ window, click Serial and select Port (COM#), click OK • Enable local echo option (go to Setup > Terminal and check the local echo box) • Type “HELLO WORLD”. Text will appear on the same terminal ** Kit operation: Data is transmitted from USB to UART (TXD). The TXD-RXD loop back connection enables the data to be fed back to the UART (RXD) to USB and is displayed on the Tera Term window Notes: * Connect the board to PC only after software installation.

Actual throughput will be less than 3 Mbps, usually around 1 Mbps, due to protocol overhead and PC Application latency • Compare Test.txt and Received file, using file compare utilities to verify data integrity Top View Bottom View Micro-B Connector USB-UART LP CY7C65213 CTS# DCD# DSR# RI# RXD RTS# DTR# TXD Not Used VBUS GND GND VCCIO_OUT GPIO2 GPIO4 GPIO3 GPIO1 GPIO0 VBUS GND GND VCCIO_OUT GPIO2 GPIO4 GPIO3 GPIO1 GPIO0 D1 - Power LED D2 - Tx Activity LED D3 - Rx Activity LED For the latest information about this Kit and to download Kit Software and Hardware files, visit www.cypress.com/go/CYUSBS232 © 2013 Cypress Semiconductor Corporation.
