Hi Haiying,

First, you should have the USB-To-Serial driver installed. Then do
ls /dev

you should see a list of devices. Your USB-To-Serial converter might 
show up as something like /dev/ttsy#

---------------------------

When you run cmake configuration on IGSTKSandbox, you will see a list of 
configurations

IGSTK_SERIAL_PORT0          /dev/ttsy0
...
IGSTK_SERIAL_PORT7          /dev/ttsy7

You can map your device to any of the IGSTK serial ports. In the 
following example, we map it to serial port 0:

IGSTK_SERIAL_PORT0   /dev/ttsy#

----------------------------

In your xml configuration file, you need to specify your COM port to be 
IGSTK_SERIAL_PORT0, which should be '0' in this case.
