  2. Right click on the unzipped file called “silabser.inf”, and click install

  3. Follow the prompts

Info

Only if on Linux:

Linux needs to give permissions to access the USB device. run this command:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/platformio/platformio-core/develop/platformio/assets/system/99-platformio-udev.rules | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/99-platformio-udev.rules

Unplug the device, and plug it back in, and you should be all set

You'll need to then clone the launchpad repo - place it in the same NER folder described in the setup.
