STEP 2: CONNECTING HILLSTAR DEVELOPMENT KIT WITH YOUR PC

Use the supplied USB cable to connect the Hillstar Development Kit to your PC. The

Power LEDs on both, I2C to USB Bridge and MGC3130 Unit will illuminate.

Furthermore, LED 1 on the I2C to USB Bridge will flash very fast (~10 Hz). In case LED

1 is flashing slow (~1 Hz), the Windows CDC driver is already installed on your PC.

Please skip the next step and go to Section 2.5 “Step 4: Start Aurea”.

STEP 3: INSTALL WINDOWS CDC DRIVER

The Windows CDC driver can be found in the MGC3130 Software Package in folder

04_Driver.

When the Hillstar Development Kit is connected to your PC for the first time, Windows

requests the appropriate device driver and guides you through the installation process.

Alternatively, you can install the driver manually, (e.g., using the device manager). An

example for Windows 7 is given in Appendix D. “Driver Installation Manual”.

Software Package in the folder 02_Aurea.

Open Aurea.exe. Aurea detects the connected device automatically and is ready for

use.
