SOFTWARE OVERVIEW
INSTALLING THE ETHERNET PHY SOFTWARE
The Ethernet PHY software GUI requires the installation of the
Ethernet PHY software and the installation of the USB
communications drivers. Both installations must be complete
before connecting the EVAL-ADIN1200FMCZ to the USB port
of the PC to ensure that the evaluation system is correctly
recognized when connected to the PC.
First, install the Ethernet PHY software and the
data
sheet and the EVAL-ADIN1200FMCZ user guide. The
installation steps are listed in the Ethernet PHY Software GUI
Installation section. The default location for the Ethernet PHY
software GUI installation is the
C\Analog Devices
folder.
When the Ethernet PHY software installation is complete,
install the USB communications drivers. The MDIO interface
dongle uses the FT232RQ for UART to USB communication.
The MDIO interface dongle requires the installation of drivers
for the FTDI Chip USB UART IC. Locate and install this driver
separately. These drivers are available at the FTDI website.
