Drivers

If you can't connect to your ratgdo board make sure you have the right driver installed for the type of board you have.

ratgdo32 and ratgdo32 disco use a CH9102 USB to Serial chipset. Modern versions of Windows & macOS include the necessary drivers natively. Installing a standalone driver can create a conflict preventing you from connecting to ratgdo32.
ratgdo v2.5i uses a CH340 USB to Serial chipset. [driver download]
