Hi Williams, The Device Manager was showing everythin normal, for example when I plugged the cable a COM port appeared, and when I removed it the COM port disappeared. Thanks for the Prolific suggestion. ---- Anyway the problem has been solved. I arrived at work on Friday morning and the FTDI cable was working properly, while it was not working the evening before. What happened in between? I put the computer (Dell Optiplex) in hibernation for the night. I suppose that because that causes power to be cut-off that fixed the issue (while rebooting a few times had not fixed it). But something else fixed the problem as I hibernate the computer every evening. My guess is that uninstalling the FTDI driver did it (plain re-installing did not fix it). As I said before the FTDI driver state was not completely bad because it worked with BBW on the same computer, the problem was only with BBB with the FTDI cable. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
