2.4 Software Installation
The evaluation software is displayed in a Web Browser which supports WebGL.
We recommend the following Browsers:
Chrome, Firefox.
2.4.1 Connecting to the board using a wireless LAN connection
Due to the wireless LAN connectivity of the module, the installation process is very straightforward.
On power-up the module searches for the last saved WiFi access point. This is indicated by the
rapidly flashing blue LED. If there is no known WiFi access point (AP) accessible, the WiFi module
opens an own AP. This is indicated by the slowly flashing blue LED on the module (40 secs).
Please connect to this AP using the following login credentials:
SSID:

Greetings
The module is now in AP mode and waits for 40 seconds until it starts the Radar application.
If the connection is successful, the blue LED is switched off.
Please find out the IP of the module by checking your DHCP server (WLAN AP).
The module can now be used as described in chapter 3.
2.4.2 Connecting the board via USB
Connecting the board via USB is only supported for Windows systems at this time.
To connect the board via USB, the ST Microelectronics Virtual Com Port driver has to be installed
first. Please download it from the ST Webpage:
http://www2.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/development-tools/software-development-
tools/stm32-software-development-tools/stm32-utilities/stsw-stm32102.html
or from the Silicon Radar download page:

The second step is to install a 32-bit Java Runtime Environment from:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html
Please make sure you select a 32-Bit driver or the communication will not work.
Thirdly, run the Com2WebSocket application after changing the path in the runme.bat to your
java.exe path.
A small window with the available com ports will open:

Please select the appropriate COM port of your Evalkit, and select 230400 baud as the baudrate.
Then click open. The program then opens a Websocket Server which is fed with the data from the
com port.
The Evalkit is now ready to run.
