Installing the USB Drivers
The communication interface between the AFE4403EVM 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
AFE4403EVM 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 AFE4403EVM 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
Figure 8
. This step is not required for the Windows
XP OS.
