RPI 3 Pin Diagram

The above mentioned adaptor (PL2303) will support Linux host machine ( ubuntu ) with proper connection between RPI (for both 3B and B+) as below

  • Connect GND (Pin 6) of RPI with PL2303 GND Pin
  • Connect GPIO14 (Pin 8) of RPI with PL2303 RX Pin
  • Connect GPIO15 (Pin 10) of RPI with PL2303 TX Pin

After connection, please run minicom in host machine to establish serial connection with RPI

    Does not work the WiFi built-in in the RPI?

    1. Narayanaswamy Ramaiyer

      Yes. The default wifi antennas in the Raspberry Pi are good enough for you to get a WiFi network( to which you can connect your devices )

      Hi Unknown User (agvieira) 


      Could you please share the Build VM OS version and also the build steps you followed?

    Dear support,

    Should we strictly use the above mentioned PL2303 USB to TTL Converter Adapter?

    What about the CH340 USB to TTL?

    BR, Nathan

    Hi Support,

    I am setting up TDK-B End to End testbed. I have some questions:

    1. For RPI4, can I use 2.4G/5G of RPI4? or I have to buy TP-Link AC1300?
    2. Can you suggest a list of "USB to Ethernet" adapters? (I can't find cable matters products in my country)Is the link below okay? It's only 100M. can you recommend a 1G product?
