5.2 Install VCOM driver
The PN7642 makes use of a proprietary VCOM driver. To install this, execute the 'install_PN76xx_vcom.bat'
from your NFC Cockpit installation folder → VCOM.
Depending on the security policy of your device, maybe an execution with administrator rights is necessary
(right click → run as administrator).
5.3 Flash NFC Cockpit firmware
Per default, the PNEV7642A is not flashed with the NFC Cockpit firmware, but with the NFC Discovery Loop
Example application. This application will not enumerate a VCOM port and cannot communicate with the NFC
Cockpit.
To flash the NFC Cockpit firmware, no external debugger is necessary. The PN76 family has a USB Mass
Storage Mode where we can drag and drop the firmware to install.
Note: To be able to put the device into mass-storage mode, make sure you set the host-interface to USB (see
Section 2.1.4.1 "Host interface selection").
