2.3 Driver Considerations
When users first connect a 1323x-RCM or 1323x-REM based platform to a PC, they may be prompted to
install drivers. If BeeKit is installed and this occurs, do not allow Windows to automatically search for and
install the drivers. Instead, select manual installation and steer Windows to the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Freescale\Drivers
If installing the BeeKit software package to another drive or directory, indicate the Drivers directory
created by the installer in the custom location where BeeKit was installed.
Follow the instructions as they appear on the screen to complete driver installation.
If BeeKit is not installed, be aware of the following:
• The boards use the FTDI serial to USB converter, Virtual COM Port (VCP) driver for Windows,
available at www.ftdichip.com/ftdrivers.htm.
(Direct (D2XX) drivers are also available.)
• The FTDI web site offers drivers for other platforms including Windows
®
(98 through Vista x64
and CE), MAC OS (8 through X) and Linux.
• Download the appropriate driver and follow the instructions to complete driver installation.
