1.3 Installing kit driver
To work with the starter kit, the KitProg3 USB-UART driver must be installed on the system. This driver is part of
a firmware package and must be installed manually. Optionally further information about KitProg3 see [1].
To install the KitProg3 USB-UART driver, do the following steps:
1. Download firmware-loader package
2. Extract the package.
3. Depending on your operating system, browse fw-loader\bin\drivers\KitProg3\KitProg3UART.
4. Right-click the file “KitProg3UART.inf” and execute “Install”. Then the driver is being installed.
Confirm that the starter kit is recognized as a KitProg3 device on Windows (open Device Manager, follow the
menu path View > Devices by container) as shown in Figure 3. This completes the hardware setup.
