Making USB dongle a slave device and driver for TestHostRelease.hex

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2540

HI, 

I am trying to make usb dongle a slave device. But after I download TestHostRelease.hex to the usb dongle, it is no longer recognized by the computer as a port device and no drivers are available for it. Therefore I cannot use Btool either. I wonder do i need to download a driver for it?

Thanks,

Yanqi

    Make sure you're programming the dongle with the image called CC2540_USBdongle_HostTestRelease_All.hex.

    The driver is normally installed when you install the BLE stack or some of our other tools, like SmartRF Flash programmer. If you still want to try to install the driver manually, you'll find it either here:

    <ble_stack_install_dir>\Accessories\Drivers

    or here
