The HHC is shipped with the latest firmware (application soft-

updates are released, they will be made available on our website.
The following steps outline the process of updating the HHC’s
firmware:
1) Install the FDTI USB Driver on the Host PC.
2) Install the HHC Firmware updater on the Host PC.
3) Download the HHC Firmware Image to the Host PC.
4) Connect the HHC to the Host PC.
5) Run the HHC Firmware Updater on the Host PC.
6) Transfer the firmware file
1) Install the FTDI USB Driver on the Host PC:
Before connecting the HHC to your desktop computer, you must
install the correct USB driver. Installing this driver will allow Mic-
rosoft Windows to recognize the HHC as a standard COM port.
Windows will assign the next available COM Port Number to the
HHC. For example: COM4.
Note: This driver may already be installed on your PC.
This driver is available from a third party, Future Technology
Devices International, and is also included on the memory stick
that you received with your HHC.
The internet link to the driver is:
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM 2.08.30 WHQL
Certified.zip
On the supplied memory stick:
D:\HHC_Utilities\FTDI_Driver\CDM 2.08.30 WHL Certified.zip
2) Install the HCC Firmware Updater on the Host PC:
The “HHC Firmware Updater” is a Windows software utility that
allows you to transfer an HHC firmware image, in the form of a
“.cyacd” file, from your PC to the HHC via the USB Port.
D:\HHC_Utilities\HHCFirmwareupdater\setup.exe
Note: The installer may prompt you to install their “.NET” software
which is required by HHC Firmware Updater.
