Hi Sachin,

What platform are you using? If you're using an ST platform you'll need to install the ST Link driver, which you can find here: https://developer.mbed.org/teams/ST/wiki/ST-Link-Driver

If you're using any other platform you should be able to just install the mbed Serial driver: https://developer.mbed.org/handbook/Windows-serial-configuration

Let me know if that helps!

Thanks,

Brian

Don't answer that. I got it, after installing the driver just have to specify the COM port in puTTY. Thanks a lot for the information Brian. Helped me a lot.
