Hi Devraj,
       If the USB is working then your pxa255 is okay. However you
will need to test the COM port. Check the cable first using a
multimeter, Radu's advice.
      Since you are on windows you can try out this low level RS232
communicator.

    =20
     Just select the COM port you are connected to and set the settings as=
=20

Baud Rate - 115200
Parity - None
Data Bits - 8
Stop Bits - 1
    =20
     Now if you boot the gumstix it will start showing the boot
process. this will test the connection if it works.
     Do a sanity check that the serial cable is plugged into the port
close to the power adapter on the waysmall; plug the serial cable in
before you power-on the gumstix or else you may not be able to see the
boot process. and cross check the serial cable connections again
before you do any of this.
bhaskar.
