Thanks all for the feedback. Hopefully this will help us to get this working.
Hi We have a partner trying to get a USB to serial converter to work with a MC55 and can't get it working. The converter is based on the FTDI chipset. So to my questions: 1) Does the MC55 have to be in USB Host mode to get this working? 2) Is COM1 or COM2 ports free to use on MC55? 3) Does any Motorola TA have experience with this solution? Any feedback would be much appreciated. thanks Kjell
1) Does the MC55 have to be in USB Host mode to get this working? Yes, Device should be in host mode to get that working. You can use the USBConfig applet to switch from Client mode to Host mode. 2) Is COM1 or COM2 ports free to use on MC55? COM1 can be used.
Refer to http://support.symbol.com/support/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=k…... for the details on serial port usage in MC55. COM1 is already in use.
Yes, FTDI USB-Serial Cable has been used with MC55. This works with the MC55 single-slot cradle.
