Installing
KM9A USB Drivers
If you are running Windows 7 either 32 or 64 bits,
you do NOT need to install any drivers as Windows 7 will automatically
recognize KM9AUSB and install the correct drivers.
FTDI the manufacturer of the FTDI FT232RL USB
chip used in KM9 has drivers as well as comprehensive guides to install
those drivers in all the applicable Operating Systems.
There is not a lot more I can add about drivers that
FTDI don't cover in their USB driver guides except to WARN YOU
Please do review ALL the instructions from FTDI
first before doing anything, then when you have a clear picture of the
entire process, only then follow the FTDI instructions.
If your operating system is OLD and you have not
kept up with all the latest service packs, then;
You should install the FTDI drivers BEFORE you
connect your KM9 to a PC, if possible.
Temptation is to just connect the board to a PC and
assume that Windows knows all
about it.
WRONG! if your Operating System is outdated
If you let Windows automatically install
some drivers may be old and not the best drivers.
If possible, it is best to install FTDI DRIVERS FIRST before you plug
your KM9A into a PC USB port,
DO NOT just blindly say OK to everything Windows suggests, first read
what is being suggested.
If you have the latest Operating System and it is
up to date then it should easily find the FTDI FT232RL and install the
correct drivers automatically.
