To evaluate and develop the X2 under Windows, please install the serial port driver of the
USB adapter board which adopts CP2102 chip to realize serial port (UART) to USB signal
conversion. Its driver can be downloaded from our official website or downloaded from the
official website of Silicon Labs:
