Please note:
1) Do not connect ADUSB2 dongle board until software is installed. Also, please ensure ADUSB dongle is not
connected to the SSM2518 evaluation board until the ADUSB drivers are properly installed on the host PC.
2) The SSM2380 software interface requires Microsoft .NET Framework (Version 2.0 or newer). The installer will
automatically download if .NET v2.0 was not previously installed. A warning: this is a large file and may require a
long download time and a fast internet connection.
Once SigmaStudio is properly installed on the user’s PC, the ADUSB2 dongle must then be properly installed. This
procedure only needs to be executed once on each computer that uses the SSM2518 software. This procedure can
be skipped if the user has previously installed any SigmaStudio or USBi related drivers from Analog Devices, Inc.
1) Ensure that the ADUSB2 dongle is not attached to the SSM2518 evaluation board.
2) Connect the ADUSB2 board to the PC via the USB cable.
3)
The PC will recognize the new hardware. Once the hardware is recognized, a prompt will ask to let windows find
the proper drivers for the hardware.
Do not let Windows install the drivers.
4) The user must direct the driver installation to the following path by clicking the “Browse” tab:
C:\Program Files\Analog Devices Inc\SigmaStudio 3.1\USB drivers
5) Once the above path has been properly selected, the user can continue with the driver installation process.
Windows will take control and properly establish the link between the Cypress USB controller and the PC.
Section 4 – GUI Operation:
Prior to opening SigmaStudio, please save a copy of the SSM2518 GUI file, SSM2518.DLL in the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Analog Devices Inc\SigmaStudio 3.1\
After launching SigmaStudio, follow this sequence to initiate the SSM2518 GUI:
1) From the main SigmaStudio window, click File -> New Project to start a new GUI project file
2) From the main SigmaStudio window, click Tools -> Add-Ins Browser -> File -> Add .DLL and browse to the
location where SSM2518.DLL is stored. This will load the SSM2518 as a “Processor” in the SigmaStudio
interface.
3) Under the Hardware Configuration window, drag a USBi icon and a SSM2518 icon into the main window.
Use your mouse to connect the two icons.
4) Click the “Link Compile Connect” icon on the SigmaStudio toolbar to initialize communication from the PC to
the ADUSB2 dongle and SSM2518 evaluation board.
5) The various user interface options are available by selection via a right mouse click on the main SSM2518
icon in the Hardware Configuration window.
6) Upon completion, the project may be saved in order for quick loading.
