Installing the USB SmartCable and Driver
Before connecting the USB SmartCable to your system, Windows loads the appropriate
driver from the ZDS II installation directory or CD-ROM. You can download ZDS II soft-
ware for a specific device family for free from the Zilog Store. Alternatively, if you have
an applicable Zilog development tool, use the CD-ROM provided. The installation proce-
dure depends on your Windows operating system version.
Zilog no longer includes CD-ROMs with USB SmartCable kits built after
August 2006.
Windows 7 32-Bit and 64-Bit Systems
1. Connect the USB SmartCable to the host PC. A Windows message appears, stating
Driver Software Installation.
2. Windows automatically searches for the driver. This process can take a while to com-
plete. However, because there is no option to terminate this process immediately,
Zilog advises waiting for the search to complete. If the driver was previously installed
on your system, Windows automatically installs the USB SmartCable driver. If this is
the case, skip ahead to Step 8. If the driver was not found, close the Search dialog and
proceed to Step 3.
3. Go to the Windows Start menu and, in the
Search programs and files
field, enter
Device Manager
. The Windows Device Manager should appear in the list of
returned items in your search; click this item to launch the Device Manager.
4. A selection labeled
Other devices
should appear in the list of hardware devices cur-
rently running in the Device Manager. Click the arrow to the left of
Other devices
to
display these additional devices.
5. Right-click
USB SmartCable
to select
Update Driver Software
, which will display
the Update Driver Software - USB SmartCable dialog.
6. Select the
Browse my computer for driver software
option in this dialog, then
browse to one of the following driver directories:
