Hello all,

I tired to configure the modes of external COM port via iot2050setup tool on the example image built from tag V01.04.02 Following is the behavior observed: image

Observed the error on IOT2050-Advacanced-PG2 board

When directly using the switchserialmode tool observed similar error.

root@iot2050-debian:~# switchserialmode -m rs232
Read config failed
Cp2102n init falied
Init error
root@iot2050-debian:~#
root@iot2050-debian:~# switchserialmode -d
Read config failed
Cp2102n init falied

Hi @ananthakr23 ,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

I hope you can help to clarification the below questions:

I tested on IOT2050 PG2 A with the same version, but I haven't encountered the issue yet.

Please provide more details so we can assist you better. And also:

Thanks.

Hi @huaqianli,

Thank you for pointing out the probing of CP210x module.

Is there a specific path to reproduce your problem?

No I just normally launch the iot2050setup at runtime and select configure external COMs

Can the issue be resolved by rebooting?

Rebooting did not resolve the issue.

Logs: (Observed the cp210x was not probed)

However i took the opportunity to test on another IOT2050 PG2 Advanced device that we had and the issue was not reproduced in that board.

So it seems only the board I originally tested had this issue.

Hi @ananthakr23 ,

Based on your description, it is possible that the CP210x chip on the board is malfunctioning. The dmesg.log also indicates that no CP210x device was detected during probing.

Thanks.
