Driver [updated] | Stmicroelectronics Virtual Com Port
Jenny, the junior firmware engineer, plugged the prototype into her laptop to test the final calibration data. She opened her terminal program (Putty), looked for the COM port, and… nothing.

The VCP driver accepts baud rate settings (e.g., 9600, 115200) but since USB operates at full speed (12 Mbps), the baud rate is largely irrelevant for data integrity – the STM32 firmware may ignore it or use it for timing control. Jenny, the junior firmware engineer, plugged the prototype
| Problem | Solution | |----------------------------------|----------| | Driver install fails (code 10, 28) | Disable driver signature enforcement (temporary) or use official installer | | COM port appears but no data | Check USB cable, ensure VBUS is present, verify USB DP/DN routing | | Data loss at high speed | Implement double buffering in CDC_Receive_FS | | Linux not detecting /dev/ttyACM* | Check dmesg for CDC ACM errors; ensure modprobe cdc_acm | | macOS: "Device not configured" | Reset SMC / NVRAM, or replug after driver loads | The VP of Sales loved the live graphing
She unplugged it. Plugged it back in. Windows made the familiar “duh-dun” sound of a device connecting. She opened Device Manager. There, under "Other Devices," sat a terrifying yellow triangle next to an entry labeled STM32 BOOTLOADER or simply Unknown Device .
