Please accept my apologies for the following unwieldy driver installation. Rather than rolling my own bootloader and driver software (which would mean less time for developing new modules), I decided to just use the generic Atmel DFU USB driver (under GPL) which does not support Plug-and-Play (PnP).
| 1. Download the ER-101 Programmer installer from the link at the top of this page and install. This will also place the USB driver files on your computer. |
| | 2. Take the ER-101 out of your case (unplug the power cable!) and set the +5V source switch on the back of the ER-101 to REG or BUS. |
| 3. Plug the ER-101 into the computer's USB port.
|
| 4. While holding down the RESET button (under the PAUSE button) on the ER-101, switch the +5V source to USB. This causes the ER-101 to boot up in Device Firmware Update (DFU) mode.
|
| 5. Your Windows operating system will try to recognize the device but just cancel that because this is not a Plug-N-Play device. If you already know how to manually install a driver for a specific hardware device then please do that and you are done. The driver software is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Orthogonal Devices\Drivers. Otherwise, please follow the remaining instructions.
|
| | 6. Open the Device Manager and find an item called "DFU AT32UC3C" under Other Devices: |
| | 7. Right-click on this item, select Properties. In the new dialog, press the Update Driver... button. |
| | 8. In the next dialog, make sure you select "Browse my computer for driver software" or similar. |
| | 9. When prompted, direct Windows to search in C:\Program Files (x86)\Orthogonal Devices\Drivers for the driver software. |
| | 10. The driver is unsigned so you will need to confirm that you are sure about installing it. |
| | 11. Now the Atmel DFU driver should be installed and your Device Manager should look like this: | |
