most common interfaces for data exchange between the MCU and other
external devices. mikromedia HMI 7 board offers the UART connectivity
over the USB-C connector (1) by utilizing the FT230XQ, a popular USB-
UART bridge IC, produced by FTDI Chip. This IC contains the complete USB
stack necessary for the interface bridging between the UART peripheral of
the MCU and the USB interface of the PC. FT230XQ drivers are available for
download from the mikromedia HMI 7 product web page, as well as from
the official FTDI drivers download web page.
