Getting Started
3.1
Software installation
Download and install the u-center GNSS evaluation software from the u-blox website at
https://www.u-blox.com/en/product/u-center-windows
Once the zip file is downloaded, unzip it and double-click the extracted exe file. The u-center software
will be installed on your system and placed under the “u-blox” folder in the “Start
Programs” menu.
Windows drivers for the Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge of the EVK are available from
Microsoft Windows Update service. The Windows system driver search mechanism can download
and install the USB drivers automatically from Microsoft Windows Update service. If the automatic
install fails, or if the PC already has an old version of the drivers installed, the correct version of the
driver can be downloaded and installed manually from Silicon Labs at:
http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/pages/usbtouartbridgevcpdrivers.aspx
Make sure you select the driver version that does not include “Serial Enumeration” functionality.
