You will need to substitute the serial numbers of the USB converters in your
specific Morello board for these commands to work.

## Connecting from Windows

Windows requires the installation of FTDI drivers to access the Morello
board's USB ports, and the OS should identify the appropriate driver version
once the board is connected.
Plink is a CLI bundled with PuTTY, a third-party terminal emulator and SSH
client freely available from the
[Windows Store](https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/putty/XPFNZKSKLBP7RJ)
and the developer's official
[website](https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html).
After installing the drivers and PuTTY, typical command lines to access the
MCC and Morello consoles are:

- MCC console: `plink -serial \\.\COM3 -sercfg 115200`
- Morello console: `plink -serial \\.\COM5 -sercfg 115200`

Do note that Windows assigns serial numbers at random.
