5. INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS

Driver Installation
On All Windows systems (XP/Vista/7/8/10)
o 64-bit systems must have test certificate installed first. See
section below “On 64-bit Windows systems” before attempting to
install.
o Manual Installation: follow the procedure documented in 80-V4609-
1, point the driver to the fre/chk path (e.g.
QMI\win\build\target\fre\Win7) when system asks for driver files.
o Windows 7 might not prompt for the driver installation when a USB
device is plugged in. In this case, open the device manager and
manually install a driver for each device instance by right
clicking on each device with the yellow warning icon and selecting
“Update Driver Software…”.

o Next select “Browse my computer for driver software”.

o Finally, select the path to the drivers for the intended operating
system:
On Windows 8 ARM Only

· Starting with Windows 8 release 8170 and later, the following

IMPORTANT CHANGES (All operating systems)

· Installation of Filter Driver (including 64-bit WIndows XP/Vista/7/8/10)
Filter driver is a mandatory driver that should be installed for external
QMI clients to work.
· Please follow the instructions below to identify the Qualcomm
"USB Composite Device" to update it to the filter driver. If there are
 more than one "USB Composite Device" please go through each one to
identify the right Qualcomm device.
· Go to Device Manager, Expand "Universal Serial Bus controllers" and for
each "USB Composite Device" right click and go the properties:

· Go to Details Tab and look at the "Hardware Ids" property and it should
show the VID/PID of the device for Ex. USB\VID_05C6&PID_ in the Value
box. Please identify the correct VID/PID of the Qualcomm Device
After Identifying do Driver update on the Identified "USB Composite Device"

Follow the same instructions under “On All Windows systems” above by selecting
the “Browse for driver software on your computer” -> “Search for driver software
in this location” and entering the path to the drivers for the target operating
system.
After updating the Composite device the QMI clients should start communication
with the device
Driver Upgrade
To update a driver, use one of the following options:
· Uninstall driver and reinstall driver
· From Device Manager, manually update driver as shown below:

Follow driver installation steps to complete driver update.

· On 64-bit Windows systems, Windows Vista and Windows 7, manually updating
driver may not work if the driver to be installed is actually older than
the existing driver. In such a case, follow steps below:
o uninstall the existing version of the driver, as a result a
previously installed version may be used automatically by the
system
o try to update driver
o if system indicates again the existing driver is newer, repeat the
above steps until the system starts to use an older driver version
or all versions of the driver are removed from the system.
