Installing the USB Drivers
The communication interface between the AFE44x0SPO2EVM board and PC is through the USB, using
the CDC profile. A one-time installation of the USB driver is required for the communication between the
AFE44x0SPO2EVM and PC application.
Following the steps below ensures proper installation of the USB drivers:
1. Plugin the USB-to-mini USB cable to J4 of AFE44x0SPO2EVM and the other end to the USB port on
the PC.
2. Win XP OS starts up the New Hardware Wizard to enable the user to install the USB driver for the new
hardware. The Windows 7 OS attempts to find the driver for the new hardware found automatically and
if the driver is not found, there is no pop-up message to indicate that the driver installation failed. In the
Windows 7 OS, click on Device Manager, right click on MSP430-USB example under Other devices
and click on Update Driver Software as shown in
. This step is not required for the Windows
XP OS.
