3.4.2 Operating System Support
On Windows® machines, the CDC will enumerate as Curiosity Virtual COM Port and appear in the Ports section of the Windows Device Manager. The COM port number can be found there.
Info: On older Windows systems, the CDC
requires a USB driver. The MPLAB X IDE installation includes this driver.
On Linux® machines, the CDC will enumerate and appear as /dev/ttyACM#.
Info: tty* devices belong to the
“dialout” group in Linux, so it may be necessary to become a member of that group to
have permission to access the CDC.
On Mac® machines, the CDC will enumerate and appear as /dev/tty.usbmodem#. Depending on the terminal program used, it will appear in the available list of modems as usbmodem#.
Info: For all operating systems, use a
terminal emulator that supports DTR signaling. See Signaling section.
