I've been using MSP430 Launchpads with students in a course for a few years. This year, lots of students have laptops with USB 3 ports, and we're finding that the virtual com port doesn't work over USB 3 ports. We're using a python program on the PC to receive characters from the launchpad. In cases where the computers have USB 2 and USB 3 ports, the problems are simply solved by plugging the launchpad board into a USB 2 port.
We've tried updating the TUSB3410 drivers to the most recent but it hasn't helped.
I haven't seen many reports of this, except for something here:
I was wondering if there are any solutions known to make the TUSB3410 on these Launchpads work properly over USB 3?
