10  Frequently Asked Questions 

 

Q1

   I get the following error from Windows during installation of SmartRF Studio: 

 

 

 

A1

  Uninstall previous versions of SmartRF Studio and try again. 

 
 

Q2

  Installation of drivers for the evaluation board fails. 

 

A2

  Instead of selecting automatic installation of drivers, select “Install form a list or specific 

location (Advanced)”. You will get the following window. 

 

 

 
 

Select the path as indicated in the figure above. Windows should now be able to find 
and install the required driver. 

 
 

If the above fails, select “Don’t search. I will choose the driver to install.” A new window 
will open, asking for a location of where drivers can be found. Select “C:\Program 
Files\Texas Instruments\Extras\Drivers\srf05eb.inf”. 

 
 

Q3

  Nothing happens when I power up the evaluation board. 

 

A3

  Make sure that all jumpers on the IO headers on the evaluation board are set in default 

position. Please refer to Table 5 and Table 6 for correct jumper setting.
