10. USB Drivers installation<br />
Installing FTDI Device Drivers<br />
FTDI have previously provided two types of driver for Windows: a D2XX direct driver and a virtual COM port (VCP)<br />
driver. Previously, these drivers were mutually exclusive and could not be installed at the same time. The new<br />
Windows combined driver model (CDM) allows applications to access FTDI devices through either the D2XX DLL or<br />
a COM port without having to change driver type. However, it should be noted that an application can only<br />
communicate through one of these interfaces at a time and cannot send commands to the D2XX DLL and the<br />
associated COM port at the same time. The CDM driver comes in two parts. The bus layer provides D2XX style<br />
functionality and is always installed. The CDM driver will determine whether a COM port should be exposed by<br />
reading the EEPROM of FT232R, FT245R and FT2232C devices. In the case of FT232BM, FT245BM, FT8U232AM<br />
and FT8U245AM devices, the CDM driver will default to always installing a COM port. This behaviour can be<br />
changed and EEPROM settings ignored by changing the driver INF files as detailed in AN232B-10 Advanced Driver<br />
Options. Please note that modifying the INF files of a Microsoft WHQL certified driver will invalidate the<br />
certification.<br />
Installing CDM 2.04.16 Drivers<br />
To install CDM drivers for an FTDI device under Windows 2000, follow the instructions below:<br />
If a device of the same type has been installed on your machine before and the drivers that are about to be<br />
installed are different from those installed already, the original drivers need to be uninstalled. Please refer to the<br />
Uninstalling CDM Drivers section of this document for further details of this procedure.<br />
Download the latest available CDM drivers from the FTDI web site and unzip them to a location on your PC.<br />
If you are running Windows XP or Windows XP SP 1, temporarily disconnect your PC from the Internet. This can be<br />
done by either removing the network cable from your PC or by disabling your network card by going to the<br />
"Control Panel\Network and Dial-Up Connections", rightclicking on the appropriate connection and selecting<br />
"Disable" from the menu. The connection can be re-enabled after the installation is complete. This is not necessary<br />
under Windows XP SP 2 if configured to ask before connecting to Windows Update. Windows XP SP 2 can have the<br />
settings for Windows Update changed through "Control Panel\System" then select the "Hardware" tab and click<br />
"Windows Update".<br />
Connect the device to a spare USB port on your PC. If the device is based on the FT2232C, the Microsoft<br />
composite device driver is automatically loaded silently in the backgound. Once the composite driver has been<br />
installed Windows Found New Hardware Wizard will launch. If there is no available Internet connection or Windows<br />
XP SP 2 is configured to ask before connecting to Windows Update, the screen below is shown. Select "No, not this<br />
time" from the options available and then click "Next" to proceed with the installation. If there is an available<br />
Internet connection, Windows XP will silently connect to the Windows Update website and install any suitable<br />
driver it finds for the device in preference to the driver <strong>manual</strong>ly selected.<br />
17
Select "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" as shown below and then click "Next".<br />
Select "Search for the best driver in these locations" and enter the file path in the combo-box ("E:\CDM 2.04.16"<br />
in the example below) or browse to it by clicking the browse button. Once the file path has been entered in the<br />
box, click “Next” to proceed.<br />
18
If Windows XP is configured to warn when unsigned (non-WHQL certified) drivers are about to be installed, the<br />
following screen will be displayed unless installing a Microsoft WHQL certified driver. Click on "Continue Anyway" to<br />
continue with the installation. If Windows XP is configured to ignore file signature warnings, no message will<br />
appear.<br />
The following screen will be displayed as Windows XP copies the required driver files.<br />
19
Windows should then display a message indicating that the installation was successful. Click "Finish" to complete<br />
the installation for the first port of the device.<br />
If the device is based on the FT2232C, the Found New Hardware Wizard will continue by installing the USB Serial<br />
Converter driver for the second port of the FT2232C device. The procedure for installing the second port is<br />
identical to that for installing the first port from the first screen of the Found New Hardware Wizard. If the device is<br />
not based on the FT2232C, the COM port emulation driver is loaded as indicated in the following steps.<br />
20
The Found New Hardware Wizard will launch automatically to install the COM port emulation drivers. As above,<br />
select "No, not this time" From the options and click "Next" to proceed with the installation.<br />
Select "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" as shown below and then click "Next".<br />
Select "Search for the best driver in these locations" and enter the file path in the combo-box ("E:\CDM 2.04.16"<br />
in the example below) or browse to it by clicking the browse button. Once the file path has been entered in the<br />
box, click “Next” to proceed.<br />
21
If Windows XP is configured to warn when unsigned (non-WHQL certified) drivers are about to be installed, the<br />
following screen will be displayed unless installing a Microsoft WHQL certified driver. Click on "Continue Anyway" to<br />
continue with the installation. If Windows XP is configured to ignore file signature warnings, no message will<br />
appear.<br />
The following screen will be displayed as Windows XP copies the required driver files.<br />
22
Windows should then display a message indicating that the installation was successful. Click "Finish" to complete<br />
the installation for the first port of the device.<br />
If the device is based on the FT2232C, the second port must also be installed. The procedure for installing the<br />
second port is identical to that for installing the first port from the first screen of the Found New Hardware Wizard<br />
for the USB Serial Port device. If the driver is Microsoft WHQL certified, this is done automatically.<br />
Open the Device Manager (located in "Control Panel\System" then select the "Hardware" tab and click "Device<br />
Manger") and select "View > Devices by Connection", the device appears as a "USB Serial Converter" with an<br />
23
additional COM port with the label "USB Serial Port". If the device is based on the FT2232C, two ports will be<br />
available from a composite USB device.<br />
In the case of the FT2232C, port A of the FT2232C will be installed as COMX and port B will be installed as<br />
COMX+1 where COMX is the first available COM port number.<br />
24
Uninstalling FTDI Devices<br />
When uninstalling devices from Windows XP, it should always be done through the Add/Remove Programs utility as<br />
this uses the FTDI driver uninstaller program to remove files and registry entries to leave a clean system. Other<br />
methods may leave fragments of the driver that may interfere with future installations. The FTDI uninstaller willl<br />
also remove drivers which were pre-installed using DPInst.<br />
Uninstalling CDM Drivers<br />
To uninstall CDM drivers for FTDI devices, follow the instructions below:<br />
Disconnect any FTDI devices that are attached to the PC.<br />
Open the Add/Remove Programs utility located in "Control Panel\Add/Remove Programs". Select "FTDI USB Serial<br />
Converter Drivers" from the list of installed programs.<br />
Click the "Change/Remove" button. This will run the FTDI uninstaller program. Click "Continue" to run the<br />
uninstaller or "Cancel" to exit.<br />
When the uninstaller has finished removing the device from the system, the caption on the "Cancel" button will<br />
change to "Finish". Click "Finish" to complete the process.<br />
