Alright, let's get to work! You can visit the next section to learn more about the CH340 and why you need the drivers, or you can skip straight to the operating system of your choice!
Meet the CH340
There are a few variants of the CH340. The CH340G requires an external crystal oscillator to function while the CH340C includes a built-in crystal oscillator. However, both function in the same fashion - they convert USB data for a serial UART and vice versa!
The CH340 is also populated on development boards such as the RedBoard Qwiic to upload code using the Arduino IDE.
Drivers (If You Need Them)
The CH340 has been tested on:
These operating systems have the CDC drivers pre-installed, which means you shouldn't need to install any extra software. However, there are a wide range of operating systems out there, so if you run into driver problems, you can get the archived drivers linked below:
The CH340 is made by WCH. You can find the latest version of their drivers here, but most of their pages are in Mandarin. If you use a Chrome web browser, you should have the option to have the web page translated.
Updating Drivers
If you have the older CH340 drivers installed, you may need to update them. Below are the instructions for doing so on each of the tested operating systems.
Windows 7/10
Note for Educators: You will need to obtain administrative privileges from your network or IT administrator in order to install these drivers. Make sure to test the drivers before class and set aside some time with students in the classroom when installing the drivers.
Download and run the executable.
Click the 'Uninstall' button first. Then click on the 'Install' button.
Windows CH340 Driver Installation Driver Verification for Windows
To verify that your driver is working, you should see a difference in the following pictures after plugging the CH340 to a USB port.
Device Manager
To check that the CH340 enumerates to a COM port, you can open the device manager. You can click the Start or ⊞ (Windows) button and type 'device manager to quickly search for the application.
Using the search on Windows 10 to look for the device manager.
Note: On Windows 10, the quick search function is picky on the spelling of the application you are searching for. For example, you may get results using 'devi' and none for 'device'.
After opening the device manager, you will need to open the Ports (COM & LPT) tree. The CH340 should show up as USB-SERIAL CH340 (COM##). Depending on your computer, the COM port may show up as a different number.

Warning: If you have a Mac OS X v10.12+ (i.e. High Sierra, Mojave), your computer may restart as soon as you insert the CH340 to your computer. We recommend that you uninstall the old drivers first and follow these directions below before connecting the CH340 to your COM port. If you observe this issue, you will need to unplug the CH340 from your USB port, restart the computer, and follow the steps below to reinstall the latest drivers.
Open the Terminal program by selecting Go >Applications.
Select and open the Terminal program under Applications >Utilities >Terminal.
Note: You can also search with Spotlight by pressing ⌘ (Command) + space bar (Space Bar). Then type 'Terminal' and double-click the search result.
If you are still unsure of how to access the Terminal, watch this video or read this Apple support article.
You'll need to move to the directory where the *.kext files are stored.
In this case, we will be using Mac OSX v10.13, so we will need to use the first command. Emachines e627 cpu upgrade.
To check to see if the CH340 driver is in the correct path, use the following command to list the contents of the folder.
To look for CH340 driver files (i.e. usb.kext or usbserial.kext) in the path, you could use the following command.
You should see something similar to the output below after using the commands.
If you have found the file in the path, you will need to run each of the following commands in the CLI/Terminal to remove old CH340 drivers. In this case, there was only the usbserial.kext file but it does not hurt to run both commands. Make sure to have administrative privileges to ensure that the drivers are removed.
Check if the old drivers were removed in the paths by using the
ls command with your respective OS version. You will notice that the *.kext file is removed from the respective paths. In this case, the usbserial.kext was removed from Mac OSX High Sierra.
Download and extract the folder.
Then, open the '*.pkg' file from the unzipped folder and follow the instructions. You'll need to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

TroubleshootingCOM Port is Not Showing Up as CH340 Windows
We have had a few reports on Windows 10 where the driver will automatically install and the board will show up under a new COM port as USB-Serial CH340, but with a different device name. However, the board cannot be accessed on the Arduino IDE. Others have had issues where the installation process hangs.
Based on the customer experiences, this might be specific to the manufacturer and are usually isolated cases. Users seem to be able to eventually get the board recognized by a combination of giving the computer time to finish the install (close to 20 min), plugging the board back in multiple times, reinstalling the drivers, and/or resetting the computer multiple times (repeat both steps).
COM Port Not Available Windows, Mac, and Linux
If you installed the drivers for the CH340 on your computer but have issues connecting via serial terminal or uploading code using the Arduino IDE, there may be an issue with your user settings preventing you from using the CH340. You may receive an
avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device error similar to the output shown below.
In this case, the error appeared on a Linux when trying to upload code due to the drivers not being installed and the root permissions.
Make sure to check your configuration settings and ensure that the serial port for the CH340 is enabled for your OS. You may also need to reinstall the drivers for your operating system.
USB Cable Windows, Mac, and Linux
Certain USB cables are for power only and may not have the data lines available. Try checking your USB cable and ensure that the data lines are intact.
Issues Uploading at Fast Baud Rates
If you are uploading to certain boards like the Apollo3 on the Artemis development boards with fast baud rates, there are some platforms (Linux flavors) where the standard CH340 USB to serial drivers don't operate well at speeds higher than 115200. So if you run into upload problems, consider reducing the upload speed. For more information about upload issues, see this forum post and consider upgrading with these drivers for Mac OSX or these for Linux.
