2.2. CD-ROM

The CD-ROM contains the electronic manuals and software necessary for developing programs. Your computer must have a web browser — like Mozilla Firefox, Netscape® Browser or Microsoft® Internet Explorer — to view the help files, and Adobe® Acrobat® Reader® to view the manuals.

Insert the enclosed CD into your computer and the installer will auto-start. The installer program will create C:\Renesas and C:\Workspace folders on your machine. NC30WA, FoUSB Programmer, Documentation, sample code, and other ZDK-related files are in the C:\Renesas folder. HEW is installed in the C:\Program Files folder by default.

If the installer program does not start, browse to the CD’s root folder and double-click on ZDK_Installer.exe to start the installation.
