Verify Driver Installation

To verify that driver installation is complete:
1. Open the Device Manager (right-click My Computer and select Properties).
2. In the System Properties window, select Hardware, Device Manager. The two WICED Smart tag USB
serial ports are listed under <PC-NAME>\Ports (COM & LPT) as shown in the screenshot below.
Note: In the screenshot, the Device Manager identifies the WICED Smart tag USB serial COM
ports as COM40 and COM41. The assigned port numbers vary among systems. The first port
(HCI UART) is used to download the application to the WICED Smart tag; the second can be used
to talk to the chip over the peripheral UART.
Note: If an error occurs during driver installation, download new drivers from Windows Update. Verify
you have an Internet connection and wait for the drivers to automatically install. If the WICED Smart
tag does not appear in the Device Manager after reinstalling drivers via Windows Update, then the
drivers can be manually installed from the Drivers folder of the SDK installation. If the error persists,
then check all switch settings (see
USB cable.
