Si477x-EVB
4. Software
The Si477x Evaluation Kit includes a graphical user interface (GUI) to simplify tuner evaluation and configuration.
This utility is useful both for demonstrations and for fine-tuning the various tuner properties and modes before
coding firmware in the target system. The GUI is designed for Windows XP and later.
4.1. Installation
The software installation has two components: the GUI and the Microsoft.NET Framework. The board
communicates via a USB HID interface, so no additional hardware drivers are needed.
Install the software components by the following steps:
1. Locate the installation software:
a. Open a window to the installation CD.
b. Open the software folder.
2. Install the software:
a. Start setup.exe.
b. Follow the on-screen prompts.
Notes:
You may receive an error stating: "This setup requires the .NET Framework version 4.0." If so, install the
.NET version provided on the CD (dotnetfx.exe).
Important, release-specific notes may be included in the Readme.doc file. Please review this before
finalizing the installation.
