USB BASE BOARD DFU MODE
Once the latest version of the GUI has been installed on the user’s PC, the next step
is to plug in the USB Base Board into a USB port without the SWI Socket Board
connected. The PC will recognize the USB Base Board as “AVR MEGA Virtual Com
Port” in the PC’s Devices and Printers
window from the Control Panel if there is
firmware already loaded in the USB Base Board (
). Note that the COM port
numeration may change based on the user’s PC.

Note:
If an earlier version of the SWI GUI was previously installed, it is recom-
mended to uninstall the previous version before installing the new version.
This will ensure robust GUI operation.
