USB UART (COM5) Driver

The USB UART (COM5) driver enables Windows to communicate with the Lineage Power USB UART device through a virtual serial port. It is intended for users who need to connect compatible equipment to serial communication software, or restore a connection when Windows cannot recognize the device.

Key Features

• USB-to-serial communication: Provides the interface needed for software to exchange serial data with compatible Lineage Power equipment over USB.
• COM port access: Allows applications to use the device through an assigned COM port. Although this device is listed as COM5, Windows may assign a different number on your computer.
• Windows compatibility: Listed supported systems include Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP. Choose a package that matches your operating system and its 32-bit or 64-bit architecture.
• Device recognition: A correctly matched driver helps Windows identify the USB UART hardware and make it available to applications that require a serial connection.

How to Install USB UART (COM5) Driver

1. Check your system and hardware. Confirm your Windows version and system architecture. In Device Manager, check the device’s Hardware IDs under Properties > Details to help verify that the driver package matches your hardware.
2. Choose the appropriate package. Before starting a USB UART (COM5) driver download for Windows, review its compatibility information. If you are comparing Windows 10/11 options, note that Windows 11 is not included in the listed supported systems; do not assume compatibility.
3. Download and extract the files. Select a trusted free download only after confirming the package’s source and hardware match. Extract the archive if necessary, and review any included installation instructions.
4. Install the driver. Run the supplied installer, or open Device Manager, right-click the device, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder. Follow the prompts and restart Windows if requested.
5. Confirm the connection. Check that the device appears under Ports (COM & LPT) without a warning icon. In your communication software, select its assigned COM port and the serial settings required by your equipment.

Keep the driver updated when a verified release addresses a connection issue or supports a system change. Before you update, confirm that the latest version still supports your hardware and Windows edition; a newer package is not automatically the right choice for an older system.
