TANII Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Hi, everyone! I am using zybo z7-20 and, by following the technical tip below, I have recently succeeded in implementing varemetal USB2.0 USB-CDC device class in Zynq to communicate with widows 10 via a serial COM port interface: https://xilinx-wiki.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/A/pages/18841624/Zynq-7000+AP+SoC+USB+CDC+Device+Class+Design+Example+Techtip Does anybody know if it is possible to establish multiple links from zynq to different widows COM ports via a single USB cable? I guess this can be achieved without installing Linux on zynq, because most microcontrollers such as PIC can do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ana-Maria Balas Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Hello @TANII, You cannot have multiple UART channels using the Zybo Z7-20 USB port because of the FTDI chip. You can route through PL using the Pmod USBUART which has only one UART channel or you can use the pmod connector with another FTDI with 4 UART channels.

TANII Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 Dear Ana-Maria, Thank you for the reply. However, it seems that your suggestion is not the one I would like to know. To my knowledge, the on-board FTDI chip is connected to the micro USB connector. Also, I have succeeded in establishing multiple links via the PMOD connectors using a home-made electric board equipped with multiple USB-RS232C conversion chips. In both cases, however, if I use FTDI chips, the speed is very low (115200 bau, or something like hat). What I succeeded was to establish a USB-UART connection via the USB 2.0 Host/OTG port. I confirmed that the communication was done at a high speed of several mega bit per second. In this implementation, I did not use UART-LITE IP package but modified the C program for Zynq shown in the technical tip:helloworld.pdf Again, I would like to ask if it is possible to establish multiple links from Zynq to different widows COM ports via the USB 2.0 Host/OTG port using a single USB cable. Kind regards, TANII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TANII Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 Dear Ana-Maria, After I replied, I found that this is not a matter of the board but of SDK. I am sorry for bothering you. Best regards, TANII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ana-Maria Balas Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Just now I realize you are referring to USB 2.0 port and not micro USB port. I'm sorry for that. I'm glad you worked it out. Have a great day, Ana-Maria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, everyone!
I am using zybo z7-20 and, by following the technical tip below, I have recently succeeded in implementing varemetal USB2.0 USB-CDC device class in Zynq to communicate with widows 10 via a serial COM port interface:

Does anybody know if it is possible to establish multiple links from zynq to different widows COM ports via a single USB cable?
I guess this can be achieved without installing Linux on zynq, because most microcontrollers such as PIC can do so.
