The speed issue of USB Virtual COM port

I use Keil uVisition3 and MSBSTR9 EVAl board.

I run the demo of Virtual COM port from the ST site and it works fine. However, the transfer speed between PC and the EVAL board is only 1KBytes/second whatever the baud rate is set. How do I fix the source code so that I can achieve the speed up to 961200. Greatly appreciate your help. Lillian

hello,

well, I don't think the baud rate is of any importance for a virtual com port (I'm not 100% sure, it has been a while). try to check your descriptor and the rate at which your device is allowed to access the bus.

Thank you for your response. More information for my issue.

USB bulk transfer mode is for communiation between PC and the EVAL board. The baud rate can be adjusted up to 115200. And the host application is Hyperterminal. Even though I revise the code and make the speed up to 961200bit/s, the real transfer speed is still 1KBytes/s. I suspect Hyperterminal caused this issue? Anyone has similiar experience with that? Thank you for your kind help.

Are you sure that your UART's buad rate, as specificed by the STR9, is configured correctly? In my previous post I meant that the baud rate does not change anything for the virtual COM port (i.e. USB connection between laptop and STR9), of course it matter for the PC-STR9 link.
