I need a little help with implementing and testing a UART that I have designed.
I know to run the UART core on FPGA I will need to use HyperTerminal and then connect the FPGA through USB-UART of my Nexys3 FPGA to USB of my PC. But what I dont understand is which USB port on my PC I need to connect to. I mean there are 3 USB ports on my computer and HyperTerminal is showing 3 ports COM6, COM7 and COM8, but how do I know which one is COM6, which one is COM7 and which one is COM8. Is there any way to find out.
The Device Manager is also showing COM6, 7, 8 but no further information.
Please help me with this. Thanks
