Serial communications with Digilent Atlys board

I have an Atlys board http://www.digilentinc.com/Products/Detail.cfm?NavPath=2,400,836&Prod=ATLYS with Spartan6 FPGA on it.

I want to setup serial port communications with host PC via onboard USB-UART bridge by EXAR. Everything's ok when running Ubuntu with picocom terminal on the PC but something goes wrong when trying to setup communications with Putty terminal on Windows machine.

The serial terminal is configured in the next way: speed 9600, data bits: 8, parity: none.

What can be wrong there?

Since you have had success with Ubuntu on the same PC, you have shown that the hardware is ok. With the same settings and a compatible program you should have no problem.

  • Have you tried using any other programs (such as HyperTerminal)?
  • Have you confirmed that the serial port works in Windows? do you have other devices you could test with?

More detail needed otherwise.
