For a 3 pin audio jack, the connections are shown below: Pin 1 Sleeve = Ground •... - Page 10 There is a known issue with Windows that it creates a new COM port every time a device is connected. In cases when there are many unused COM ports, the Galileo board may stop working and/or the IDE may return the error below: /dev/ttyS24: No such file or directory One workaround is to delete all unused and hidden COM ports, including the drivers.
- Page 11 “Delete the driver software for this device” and click OK. Repeat this step for each unused COM port. Close Device Manager when complete. 6. Connect the USB cable to the Galileo board. You will be prompted to reinstall the driver as described in...
