2. Software Setup

The included CD-ROM contains the Virtual COM Port Drivers, USBXpress Driver Development Kit and additional

documentation. Insert the CD-ROM into a system's CD-ROM drive. If using a Windows PC an installer will

automatically launch, allowing you to install the software or read documentation by clicking buttons on the

Installation Panel. If the installer does not automatically start when you insert the CD-ROM, run autorun.exe found

in the root directory of the CD-ROM. Refer to the ReleaseNotes CP21xx CD.txt file on the CD-ROM for the latest

information regarding versions and known problems and restrictions. If a non-Windows PC is used, manually

browse to the directory on the CD-ROM that contains the software for your OS. The instructions in this document

assume a Windows PC is being used. In the installation application, select the options for your kit. The sections

below include more information on the software being installed.

2.1. Virtual COM Port Driver Installation

Press the “Install CP21xx Tools” button on the main installation panel to access CP210x Virtual COM Port Drivers

for Windows. Virtual COM Port drivers for Linux and Mac operating systems are located on the CD but are not

installed automatically. See the following sections for installation instructions on your specific operating system.

2.1.1. Virtual COM Port Driver Installation for Windows

The VCP driver installation process for Windows is a two phase process. First, the files needed for the driver

installation are “unpacked” to a location on the computer. Next, the unpacked files are used to install the Virtual

COM Port driver:
