Installing the Windows USB Driver

Once the SAM-BA software has been downloaded, the appropriate USB driver becomes avail-
able and can be installed.

After plugging the USB cable into the target board’s USBOTG port, Windows discovers this inter-
face and will typically identify it as as GPS Camera Detect (COMxx). DO NOT use this device
driver -- it will not work with SAM-BA. If the Windows Update search starts running, cancel it.
(After you do this, the target board will appear as Unknown Device instead of GPS Camera.
Either way, you must replace it.)

You will have to install an INF file to register this new device type using the Device Manager util-
ity. Follow these steps:

1. Go to your Device Driver screen and right-click on GPS Camera Detect (or

Unknown Device) and select Update Driver Software. (In WIndows 7, right click on
Computer in the Start menu and select Properties. Device Manager is in the left
hand column of the Properties window.)
