Note : On the PC only two of the four ports would be visible on the Device Manager. The 
D2XX ports are not listed under the “Ports” tab. 

The first COM port in the list usually is used for the flash programming.

3.1.3  Driver requirements 

The FTDI Debug board requires the user to install the associated drivers on a PC. This 
package is available as part of the SDK release and would be located at [Install-
Path]\cc3100-sdk\tools\cc31xx_board_drivers\. 

The install path is usually C:\ti\cc3100SDK

Mating the boards 

The image above shows the connection of the CC3100MODBOOST to the 
CC3100EMUBOOST Board. The connectors should be aligned carefully considering that 
it does not have a polarity protection. The pin-1 of the connectors are marked on the 
board using a small triangle marking and these should be aligned while mating. 

Caution :  

Align the pin-1 of the boards together using the triangle marking on the PCB. An incorrect 
mating can destroy the boards permanently. 

Ensure that none of the header pins are bent before mating the two boards.
