4. Getting Started
4.1. Software Installation
The Si47xx Windows GUI (graphical user interface) software is designed for use with the Si47xx evaluation board
(EVB). The GUI software revision number is available under HelpAbout.
The GUI software development program uses a host machine USB port to communicate with the Si47xx EVB and
is tested for use with Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows 7.
To install, insert the Silicon Laboratories Si47xx CD into the host machine CD drive and launch Windows Explorer.
Open the CD to explore the contents in a window like the one shown in Figure 23.
Figure 23. Installation and Setup Screen
Important: Open and read the Readme.doc file at this point. It may contain information that is not captured here,
and which could be very important to the functionality of the EVB or software.
Run the Setup.Exe and follow the instructions on the screen.
Note: If you get this Error message: "This setup requires the .NET Framework version 4.0," then you should install the .NET
Framework that is provided on the CD and re-run the setup. The GUI requires version 4.0; however, multiple versions
such as 2.0, 3.0, and 5.0 can be installed simultaneously.
After installation is finished, a Silicon Labs Audio GUI icon will appear on your desktop. Launch the software by
clicking this icon on the desktop as shown in Figure 24.
