I have an Friendly ARM SDK with the 7" touch screen, and I can NOT get it to Connect with my Computer which is Windows Vista 32bit, I have tried all kinds of stuff. The Micro2440 Works and will turn on but I cant get it to Connect to my Computer VIA USB. I would also like to Put Ubuntu 11.10 on it if at all Possible, Can anyone please help me?
What do you hope to communicate through USB? Normally, one uses the RS232 serial connection and some terminal program like Minicom, Microcom, Picocom, Hyerterminal to communicate as a remote terminal. You can then use USB to download files from the PC to the dev board. Which tutorial are you following and at what point do you get stuck?
I dont have an English Tutorial that Explains how to do anything through Windows Vista, and I am Totally New to this. I would like to Communicate through USB. but when I plug my Micro2440 in to my computer Via USB nothing happens, and Nothing Shows up under Device Manager. as it is NOT connecting to the computer. any advice?
You can not connect to PC directly via USB. You have to use the RS232 port of Mini2440. If you like to connect the serial cable to the USB Port of a PC you have to use a RS232-USB converter. There is no console in/out on the Minis USB Port! Maybe you must have admin rights on Vista to get access to the USB port, try it as administrator or with an admin user account when connecting the converter. There will be a lot of noise on console output when using an converter. The better choice is a real RS232 Port at the PC side.
I was trying to Connect to the Micro2440 through the USB Device Port. and I can get it to Connect through the DNW program on my computer. but I dont know what File or Files to Transmit to it. do you have the Files to Install an OS onto the Micro2440?
There is a guide on the download page: http://www.friendlyarm.net/dl.php?file=download.pdf
