Software Installation
This chapter describes the steps to install the software tools and packages on a PC for using the CY3677 Evaluation Kit.
2.1 Before You Begin
All Cypress software installations require administrator privileges. Ensure that you have the required privileges on the system
for successful installation. Before you install the kit software, close any other Cypress software that is currently running.
2.2 Install Software
Follow these steps to install the CY3677 Evaluation Kit software:
1. Download the CY3677 Evaluation Kit software from
www.cypress.com/CY3677
. The software is available in the following
formats:
a.
CY3677 Evaluation Kit Complete Setup:
This installation package contains the files related to the CY3677
Evaluation Kit. However, it does not include the Windows Installer or Microsoft .NET Framework packages. If these
packages are not available on your computer, the installer directs you to download and install them from the Internet.
b.
CY3677 Evaluation Kit Only:
This executable file installs only the CY3677 EVK contents, which include example
projects, hardware files, and user documents. This package can be used if all the software prerequisites are installed
on your PC.
c.
CY3677 Evaluation Kit ISO:
This file is a complete package, stored in a CD/DVD-ROM image format that you can
use to create a CD/DVD or extract using an ISO extraction program such as WinZip or WinRAR. The file can also
be mounted similar to a virtual CD/DVD using virtual drive programs such as Virtual CloneDrive and MagicISO. This
file includes all the required software, utilities, drivers, hardware files, and user documents.
2. If you have downloaded the ISO file, mount it on a virtual drive. If you do not have a virtual drive to mount, extract the
ISO contents using the appropriate ISO extractor (such as MagicISO or PowerISO). Double-click
cyautorun.exe
in the
root directory of the extracted content or the mounted ISO if the
“Autorun from CD/DVD” option is not enabled on the PC.
The installation window will appear automatically.
Note:
If you are using the
“Kit Complete Setup” or “Kit Only” file, then go to step 4 for installation.
3. Click
Install CY3677 EVK
to start the installation as shown in
