2.3 Kit setup
2.3.1 Powering on the boards
The MB950 application board can be powered as follows:
● Via batteries
● Via USB
To power on the MB951 USB dongle, simply plug it into a PC USB port.
2.3.2 Installing the ST Virtual COM port driver USB drive
To use the serial communication channel on the kit application boards, a Virtual COM port
driver for STM32F103xx must be installed. This driver can be directly downloaded from the
ST website at http://www.st.com/internet/com/SOFTWARE_RESOURCES/
SW_COMPONENT/SW_DRIVER/vcpdriver_v1.zip
2.3.3 Setting up the application serial communication channel
To setup a serial communication channel for the kit application boards, follow these steps:
1. On the MB950 application board, connect a mini-USB cable between the board’s mini-
USB connector and a PC USB port.
2. Plug the MB951 USB dongle into a PC USB port.
3. Using the mouse, right-click on My Computer, select Manage, Device Manager, and
open Ports (COM & LPT) to display the related USB COMx ports.
4. Open a Hyper Terminal on the corresponding USB virtual COMx ports with the
following configuration:
Bit rate: 115200; Data bits: 8; Parity: None; Stop bits: 1; Flow control: None
