Driver Requirements
The FTDI Debug board requires installing the associated drivers on a PC. This package is available as
part of the SDK release and is located at:
[Install-Path]\cc3100-sdk\tools\cc31xx_board_drivers\
.
The install path is usually C:\ti\cc3100SDK.

Connecting the Boards
shows the connection of the CC3100MOODBOOST to the EMUBOOST Board. The connectors
should be aligned carefully, as there is no polarity protection and the sFlash can be erased as a result.
The pins #1 of the connectors are marked on the board using a small triangle marking; these should be
aligned while connecting.
