Connect the board to the computer via a USB port and power it on,
Click on Windows button, Right click on computer and click on "Manage", Select "Device Manager" on the left hand side
Right click on the "Unknown device"
Select "Update Driver Software"
Select "Browse my computer for driver software"
Navigate to the sam-ba install folder that contains the sam-ba driver
When Windows is done installing the driver, you will be presented with the following window
Now the usb driver "AT91 USB to Serial Converter" has successfully updated.
With Windows system, the USB CDC driver will automatically be assigned a COM number, such as COM8 or COM 25, and can be found with Windows Device Manager.
CASE 2: I have installed SAM-BA 2.12 or previous version before.
We recommend to update you USB driver with latest signed USB driver.
CASE 3: I have installed SAM-BA 2.10 or previous version before, and the usb port is recognized as "ATMEL AT91xxxxx Test board".
That means a previous version of USB driver (atm6124.sys) was already installed from previous versions of SAM-BA, you have to uninstall this driver first, and re-install latest new USB driver.
