USB driver installation

In this section:

C-SPY needs a USB driver, which (for some probes) is automatically installed. If the USB driver is not installed automatically, you will need to install it manually.

Installing the I-jet USB driver

I-jet does not require any special driver software installation. Normally, all drivers for I-jet are automatically installed as part of the installation of IAR Embedded Workbench.

If you need to install the USB driver manually, navigate to \arm\drivers\jet\USB\64-bit (in the installation directory). Start the dpinst.exe application. This will install the USB driver.

Installing the I-jet Trace USB driver

I-jet Trace does not require any special driver software installation. Normally, all drivers for I-jet Trace are automatically installed as part of the installation of IAR Embedded Workbench.

If you need to install the USB driver manually, navigate to \arm\drivers\jet\USB\64-bit (in the installation directory). Start the dpinst.exe application. This will install the USB driver.

The USB LED will flash twice after enumerating on the USB2 ports, and three times on USB3 ports.

Installing the J-Link USB driver

Before you can use the J-Link JTAG probe over the USB port, the Segger J-Link USB driver must be installed.

Install IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm.
Use the USB cable to connect the computer and J-Link. Do not connect J-Link to the target board yet. The green LED on the front panel of J-Link will blink for a few seconds while Windows searches for a USB driver.
Run the InstDrivers.exe application, which is located in the product installation in the arm\drivers\JLink directory.
Once the initial setup is completed, you will not have to install the driver again.
Note
J-Link will continuously blink until the USB driver has established contact with the J-Link probe. When contact has been established, J-Link will start with a steady light to indicate that it is connected.

Installing the ST-LINK USB driver for ST-LINK version 2

Before you can use the ST-LINK version 2 JTAG probe over the USB port, the ST-LINK USB driver must be installed.

Install IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm.
Use the USB cable to connect the computer and ST-LINK. Do not connect ST-LINK to the target board yet.
Because this is the first time ST-LINK and the computer are connected, Windows will open a dialog box and ask you to locate the USB driver. The USB driver can be found in the product installation in the arm\drivers\ST-Link\Win_7-8 directory—dpinst_amd64.exe.
Once the initial setup is completed, you will not have to install the driver again.

Installing the TI Stellaris USB driver

Before you can use the TI Stellaris JTAG interface using FTDI or ICDI over the USB port, the Stellaris USB driver must be installed.

Install IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm.
Use the USB cable to connect the computer to the TI board.
Because this is the first time the Stellaris JTAG interface and the computer are connected, Windows will open a dialog box and ask you to locate the USB driver. There are different USB drivers for FTDI and ICDI. The drivers can be found in the product installation in the arm\drivers\StellarisFTDI and the arm\drivers\StellarisICDI directories, respectively.
Once the initial setup is completed, you will not have to install the driver again.

Installing the TI XDS USB driver

Before you can use the TI XDS JTAG interface over the USB port, the TI XDS package must be installed.

Install IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm.
Install the TI XDS package using the run_installer.bat file which can be found in the arm\drivers\ti-xds\win64 directory. It is recommended to choose the suggested installation directory. See also TI XDS — Setup.
Use the USB cable to connect the computer to the TI board.

Configuring the OpenOCD Server

For more information, see the gdbserv_quickstart.html file, available in the arm\doc\infocenter directory, or refer to the manufacturer’s documentation.

Installing the TI MSP-FET USB driver

Before you can use the TI MSP-FET driver, the TI MSP-FET USB driver must be installed.

Install IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm.
The USB driver can be found in the product installation in the arm\drivers\ti-mspfet\USB_CDC directory—DPInst64.exe.
Use the USB cable to connect to the TI MSP-FET probe.

Installing the PE Micro USB driver

To install the USB driver for the PE Micro driver manually, navigate to the arm\drivers\pemicro directory and start the PEDrivers_install.exe application. This will install the USB driver. For information about this driver, see the file PEMicroSettings.pdf, available in the arm\doc directory.

Installing the Nu-Link USB driver

To install the USB driver for the Nu-Link driver manually, navigate to the arm\drivers\Nu-Link directory and start the Nu-Link_USB_Driver.exe application. This will install the USB driver. For information about this driver, see the file NuMicro Cortex-M IAR ICE driver user manual.pdf available in the arm\bin\Nu-Link directory.

Installing the E2/E2Lite USB driver

To install the USB driver for the Renesas E2 C-SPY driver manually, navigate to the arm\drivers\RenesasE2 directory and start the USB_Driver_x64_for_Renesas_MCU_Tools.exe application. This will install the USB driver. For information about this probe, see the documentation from Renesas supplied with the probe.
