Hw-417-v1.2 Driver ((install)) 〈ESSENTIAL〉
| OS | Driver Solution | Longevity | |---------------|-------------------------------------|-----------| | Windows 11 | CH340 v3.5 or later (signed) | High | | Windows 10 | CH340 v3.4 (universal) | High | | Linux 5.x+ | Built-in ch341 kernel module | Very High | | macOS Ventura | Community ch34x kext | Medium | | ChromeOS | Use Android ADB + USB passthrough | Low |
When wiring the HW-417 to a microcontroller, remember that data transmission crosses over. Connect TX on the HW-417 to RX on the MCU, and RX on the HW-417 to TX on the MCU.
Python example:
Plug the module into a USB port. Open Device Manager and expand Ports (COM & LPT) . You should see CH340 (COMx) , where x is the assigned port number. 🍏 macOS Installation
This will list all serial devices. If your adapter is recognized, you will see an entry like /dev/cu.usbserial-XXXXXX or /dev/cu.usbmodemXXXXX . If you see it, your driver is working correctly.
Look for , where x represents the assigned port number (e.g., COM3). 2. macOS Installation
The HW-417-V1.2 SoC is a highly integrated chip that features a powerful ARM Cortex-M7 processor, rich peripherals, and a wide range of interfaces. The SoC is widely used in various applications, such as industrial control, medical devices, and consumer electronics. To fully utilize the features of the SoC, a comprehensive driver is required to manage the peripherals and provide a interface between the SoC and the operating system.
After installing the driver, follow these steps to ensure everything is working:
Good news: Most modern Linux kernels (since 2.6) have the CH340 driver . You shouldn't need to install anything. Just check if the device is recognized by typing lsusb or dmesg | grep tty in the terminal. 4. Troubleshooting Common Issues
