[quote author="VolDel"]Hi all!
Received my BP this week via a german Distributor.
I exactly faced the same issue as described above by all the others.
Unfortunately the hint with the replacement of the FTDI Driver does not work in my case!
I need to return the device and ask for another one.

Don't send it back until you've contacted Seeed, they will advise and likely you won't have to send it back.

Counterfeit FT232RL, CHINA marking at the back of the IC, marking is not clear

That's useful for the current batch, but in my experience it's much like Sjaak was saying and it can be really difficult to tell them apart. Sometimes when they find out their fake has been discovered, they will change markings to match the new ones. With other devices, I've had good and fake devices side by side comparing and it is still incredibly hard to tell which is the fake.

I seem to have same problems with BP behaving as if no firmware and not responding to terminal - v3.6 board date April 2012, in package dated 10/09/2013.

115200 8N1 via putty, also tried other terminal software. Am using latest drivers.

I have also tried OLS client and although the serial port is recognised, I get error "Capture aborted! Device not found!".

Order placed 23 December with Seeed and only just received.

If there are known issues with these boards, why are they still sending them out?

James

Hi James:
