EZ-USB Development Kit Software
Beginning the
Install
Procedure
Start by collecting the following materials:
•
Installation CD.
•
The EZ-USB Development Board.
•
USB Cable.
•
A Development Platform (PC) with USB support.
Verify that USB support is present on the development PC before
proceeding. There should be at least one USB connector socket
available on the PC chassis (a flat connector socket). The
motherboard BIOS must also contain USB support.
Generally speaking, you must have one of the following operating
systems which provide USB support.
•
Win 95 OSR2.1 (version 4.03.1214 or later)
•
Windows 98 (highly recommended)
The OS version can be found in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
\CurrentVersion -> VersionNumber
If you are using Win95 and are not up to version 1214, then you
need to get the most current version of usbsupp.exe and install it.
usbsupp.exe is available through Microsoft Developer’s Network
(MSDN).
To quickly determine that USB support is present on your PC, do
the following:
•
Select “Start\Settings\Control Panel”.
•
Double-click on the “System” icon.
•
Select the “Device Manager” tab.
•
You should see a “Universal Serial Bus Controller” icon.
This icon will probably have a Host Controller and a USB Root
Hub listed beneath it.
