title: Serial communications with Digilent Atlys board
body: <p>I have an Atlys board <a href="http://www.digilentinc.com/Products/Detail.cfm?NavPath=2,400,836&amp;Prod=ATLYS" rel="nofollow">http://www.digilentinc.com/Products/Detail.cfm?NavPath=2,400,836&amp;Prod=ATLYS</a> with Spartan6 FPGA on it.</p>
  
  <p>I want to setup serial port communications with host PC via onboard USB-UART bridge by EXAR.
  Everything's ok when running Ubuntu with <strong>picocom</strong> terminal on the PC but something goes wrong when trying to setup communications with Putty terminal on Windows machine.</p>
  
  <p>The serial terminal is configured in the next way: speed 9600, data bits: 8, parity: none.</p>
  
  <p>What can be wrong there?</p>
