4.3.1 ActiveSync
3.7.1
Microsoft ActiveSync
®
3.7.1 is the latest and significantly improved synchronisation software for Microsoft
Windows Powered Pocket PCs. ActiveSync 3.7.1 is easy to install and use and offers the best levels of reliability
to date. ActiveSync 3.7.1 also brings you up to date with compatibility to Microsoft Office XP and Windows XP. If
you do not have this on your computer go to:

.
4.4 Installing
USB
Drivers
There are two sets of device drivers for BlueCore (CSR and WIDCOMM
™
). Each set contains drivers for
BlueCore to use in normal operation and in DFU mode. The CSR DFU driver offers better reliability and
performance. Use the CSR DFU Wizard if you use the CSR DFU driver. WIDCOMM Bluetooth for Windows
(BTW) software works only with the WIDCOMM driver.
CSR’s BlueSuite software was tested using both sets of drivers.
If you installed previous versions of BlueSuite and CSR USB drivers, note that they will not work with the
WIDCOMM BTW software. The CD ROM provided with your Casira Development Kit will allow you to remove the
old USB drivers and install the new version, which co-exists with both software programs.
4.4.1
Selecting the Driver
If you plan to use only the BlueSuite software to develop your Bluetooth application(s), CSR recommends that
you use the CSR drivers referenced in csrbc01.inf.
If you plan to use both CSR and WIDCOMM software, CSR recommends that you use the drivers referenced in
btwusb_csr_dfu.inf. This file uses the WIDCOMM driver for normal USB operation, but it uses the CSR driver for
DFU operation. Use the CSR DFU Wizard to perform DFU operations over USB as this offers best performance
and reliability.
If you plan to use mainly WIDCOMM software, CSR recommends that you use the WIDCOMM drivers, as
referenced in btwusb.inf.

Driver
