Driver Installation
-------------------

	Follow the steps below to uninstall previous driver versions
	and to install the new drivers included in this package. See 
	the Evaluation Kit User's Guide for further driver 
	installation instructions. 


	1) Unplug any connected CP210x devices.
	2) Optional Step: Remove old drivers that have previously been installed. 
	   For Windows systems, open the Add or Remove Programs 
	   window from the Control Panel. Next, select each CP210x
	   entry and click on Remove.
	3) Run the driver executable, CP210x_Drivers.exe, to extract 
	   all of the device drivers included with this release 
	   (Windows, Macintosh and Linux). The default installation 
	   directory for this release is "C:\Silabs\Mcu\CP210x".
	4) Connect a CP210x device.
	5) Install the new drivers. For Windows systems, the Add New 
	   Hardware Wizard should open when a new device is detected. 
	   Use the wizard to install the drivers by directing it to 
	   the "C:\SiLabs\MCU\CP210x\WIN" directory created in step 3. 


Known Issues and Limitations
----------------------------

	Current devices supported are CP2101, CP2102 and CP2103.

	This release now includes a PreInstaller.exe installer for the
	Windows drivers. After running the preinstaller, the Windows 
	Found New Hardware Wizard should not be need on Windows 98SE/2000.
	When using Windows XP with WHQL uncertified drivers, the Found 
	New Hardware Wizard will still appear.	

	This release does not include the MacIntosh OS9 driver. 
	It is available by request from the factory.

	The naming conventions for the Windows drivers has been changed
	from CP2101 to CP210x to include support for future CP210x 
	devices. The drivers included with this release can be used with 
	any device in the CP210x family. However, a WHQL certified 
	version of the Windows driver does not yet include this change.
	The device strings will say CP2101. This is a cosmetic change
	only. The drivers will still function for any CP210x device.

	This driver release package includes the following drivers:
		* CP210x Linux Driver v0.81b
		* CP210x Macintosh OSX Driver v1.00
		* CP210x Windows 98SE/2000/XP Driver v4.28
