NSTALLATION
The USB key in the evaluation kit contains multiple SW components that can be installed for
evaluating the various applications on the evaluation board.
System Requirements: PC with Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista. with at least one Ethernet port, and a PC with a serial
or USB port. (A single PC can provide both the serial and Ethernet connections, if desired.)
Install Java Runtime Environment
If you have Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Version 6 Update 14 or later, you should be able to
run the GSDemo GUI application that are installed as part of the Eval kit installation. If not, you
can download the current version of JRE from
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
or run jre-6uXY-windows-i586-p-s.exe from the USB flash drive received with your
Evaluation Kit, where XY may vary depending on the update provided.
Install Serial Terminal Software
Install the Tera Term serial terminal software (teraterm_utf8-4.58.exe). If you already have tera
term or use a different terminal software, then you can skip this step.
Evaluation Kit Software Installation
Installs the Serial to Wi-Fi application binaries, GSDemo GUI for the temperature and light sen-
sor application and drivers required for serial configuration.
Run evalkit_setup.exe from the USB flash drive. This starts the InstallShield Wizard. Perform
a "Typical" installation, using all default settings. This creates and populates the
C:\GainSpan\EvalKit\X.X.X directory.
Note: Directory names and organization may differ slightly from one release to another; If you
have already installed earlier versions of GainSpan software, the most recent release will be add-
ed in a separate folder.
Copy Sim_terminal.exe from the USB key to the EvalKit directory created in this step. The sim
terminal is a serial terminal with --- TCP/UDP client available from GainSpan. Note that Simple
Terminal requires the .NET framework, 2.0 or above; You can download that .net framework
from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx
USB/UART Cable Driver Installation
Note: If using RS232 (DB9) cable, then this step can be skipped
If USB to UART cable provided with the kit is used, then install the driver for this cable from
C:\GainSpan\S2wEvalKit\1_1_2\drivers\usb_uart directory that was created previous step. The
file is labeled CDM 2.02.04.
