About CP210x
Many devices formerly connected via UART have been equipped with USB interfaces using serial to UART converters such as the CP210x USB-to-UART Bridges from Silicon Labs. emUSB-Host is capable of easily addressing such devices.
Application Samples emUSB-Host CP210x
CP2102 USB to UART Bridge
Compatibility
The following devices were tested with the current CP210x driver:
- CP2102
- CP2103
- CP2104
Example Code Included
An example application which uses the API is provided with any shipment or eval software including emUSB-Host. This example displays information about the CP210x device in the I/O terminal of the debugger. In addition the application then starts a simple echo server, sending back the received data. Several application samples can also be found on the emUSB-Host sample page.
