Appendix B: Getting Started - Devkit

Devkit USB Interfaces

USB/RS232

The USB interface (connector labeled USB/ RS232) closest to the power plug is to the 
RS232 interface of the M6e through an FTDI USB to serial converter. The drivers for it are 
available at

http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm

Please follow the instructions in the installation guide appropriate for your operating 
system.

Native USB

To use the M6e native USB interface (connector labeled USB), if on Windows, a few 
installation steps are required for Windows to recognize the M6e and properly configure 
the communications protocol. In order to use the USB interface with Windows you must 
have the m6eultra.inf file (included in the M6e alpha package sent). The installation steps 
are:

1.    

Plug in the USB cable to the M6e (devkit) and PC.

2.    

Windows should report is has “Found New Hardware - Mercury6eUltra” and open the 

Hardware Installation Wizard.

3.    

Select the Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) option, click Next.

4.    

Select Don’t search..., click Next, then Next again. 

5.    

Click Have Disk and navigate to where the m6ultra.inf file is stored and select it, click 

Open, then OK.
