The MIB520 programming pod has an on-board in-system processor (ISP) to program the Motes.
Code is downloaded to the ISP through the USB port. Next the ISP programs the code into the
Mote.

OEM Edition modules connect to the MIB520 via the 10-pin adapter that connects to USB port
of the host PC.

FT2232C VCP drivers. These drivers are available in the MoteWorks CD and instructions are
provided in Section 2.1.2.
11.4 Power
The MIB520 is powered by the USB bus of the host.
