What is it?

A USB-to-UART bridge, now in your USB Type-C port! Works out-of-the-box on most Linux flavours, for other drivers, see here.

The chip is USB 2.0 full-speed compatible and can achieve data transfer rates up to 1 Mbaud.

In addition to breaking out the most common RX/TX/RTS/CTS pins, the board also breaks out almost all the other pins, see back of the board for details. The signal pins are 5V tolerant - they should work with both 3.3V and 5V.

The board also features RX and TX LEDs to help you debug issues, they will light up when data is transferred.

For more details see the datasheet or the Serial Communications Guide from Silicon Labs.

Why did you make it?

I made this because my laptop has only one USB A slot but has two USB Type-C slots, thanks to this board I can have my USB-to-UART bridge connected and still have an empty USB A slot. This is even more useful with computers that have only USB Type-C slots.
