*** Important Installation Information for Windows ***
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. If you get a  "New USB hardware found" message after you connect your emulator to your PC using a USB cable, then direct the Hardware Installation Wizard to your installation directory so that it can locate the necessary drivers and complete the installation. Windows only needs to perform this operation the first time you connect your USB emulator to your PC. Microsoft Windows XP users can safely ignore any Windows generated warnings about the Ashling drivers not passing Windows Logo Testing.

2. Ashling recommend the MIPS SDE GNU tools distribution which is available from www.mips.com. We use this internally to validate our GDB Server. This release of our server was tested with GDB mipssde-6.06.01-20070420.

3. NXP PNX8543 and PNX85500 users will need to get a password file from NXP to allow the Ashling tools to unlock the EJTAG interface
