Si5351 EVB Kit (USBXpress 3.3)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The EVB uses the Silicon Laboratories USBXpress 3.3 driver to 
allow the EVB to communicate with the computer via USB. Other
versions have not been tested with this software or EVB.

The driver is installed after the EVB software is installed. If
this option is cancelled then the EVB will not run with the computer
via USB.

The installer will copy the necessary driver files and 
update the operating system. However, for every different 
EVB connected to the same computer, the hardware installation 
wizard will run to associate this driver with the new EVB. 
Let the wizard run with its default settings.

The USBXpress driver may be removed via the Add and Remove 
Programs utility in the Control Panel. Locate the entry 
called Silicon Laboratories USBXpress Device. Click the 
button and it should show the version and location of 
what it will remove.

The USBXpress 3.3 installation files are located with the 
installed Si5351 ClockBuilder Desktop X.X. The driver files 
for the EVB may be re-installed from this location or by running 
the EVB install software.
