When loaded into the USB AVR on the XPLAIN board, it will act as either a USB to Serial * converter for the XPLAIN's hardware USART (at a speed of 9600 baud), or an AVRStudio compatible PDI programmer for the XMEGA. * This project replaces the firmware preloaded onto the XPLAIN's onboard AT90USB1287 microcontroller. * * When power to the board is applied, the TDI pin (pin 9) of the USB AVR's JTAG port is read. If the pin is left high, the device * will enumerate as a regular COM port on the host, which can then be opened and data exchanged between the XMEGA and Host as if * the XMEGA was connected directly to the host's serial port. If the pin is pulled low by shorting it to GND (pin 10), the device * will enumerate as an AVRISP-MKII to the host, so that the XMEGA can be reprogrammed by AVRStudio or other compatible software * such as avrdude by connecting to the board as if it was an Atmel AVRISP-MKII programmer. * * After running this project in serial bridge mode for the first time on a new computer, you will need to supply the .INF file * located in this project project's directory as the device's driver when running under Windows. This will enable Windows to use * its inbuilt CDC virtual serial drivers, negating the need for custom drivers for the device. Other Operating Systems should * automatically use their own inbuilt CDC-ACM drivers. * * In serial bridge mode, the UART baud rate can be altered through the host terminal software to select a new baud rate - the default * baud is 9600. Note that parity, data bits and stop bits are fixed at none, eight and one respectively can cannot be altered. Changes * to the connection's parity, data bits or stop bits are ignored by the firmware. As the serial link between the controllers on the * XPLAIN is software emulated by the USB AVR, not all baud rates will work correctly. * * This project relies on files from the LUFA AVRISP-MKII project for compilation. * * \section SSec_Options Project Options * * The following defines can be found in this project, which can control the project behaviour when defined, or changed in value. * * <table> * <tr> * <td><b>Define Name:</b></td> * <td><b>Location:</b></td> * <td><b>Description:</b></td> * </tr> * <tr> * <td>BUFFER_SIZE</td> * <td>LightweightRingBuff.h</td> * <td>Defines the maximum number of bytes which can be buffered in each Ring Buffer when in serial bridge mode.</td> * </tr> * <tr> * <td>LIBUSB_DRIVER_COMPAT</td> * <td>Makefile LUFA_OPTS</td> * <td>Define to switch to a non-standard endpoint scheme, breaking compatibility with AVRStudio under Windows but making * the code compatible with software such as avrdude (all platforms) that use the libUSB driver. * </tr> * </table> */Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
