Quick Start Guide

1. Download The Development Kit

• Download the BrainStem Development Kit (BDK) for your particular operating system and architecture.

• Download HubTool for your particular operating system and architecture.

2. Connect Device(s)

• Using standard USB-C cables, connect the Common and Control Ports of the USB-C-Switch Pro to the host.

• Connect devices to any of Mux Ports 0-3 with standard USB-C cables or one of the included Acroname Unversal Orientation Cables (UOCs).

  • If using standard cables, you may need to flip the Switch side of the device cable to get it to connect.

  • UOCs will work in either orientation. UOC’s come in two types: use the C70 cable if your device has independent HS sides and use C67 for when HS sides A and B are shorted. See Which universal orientation cable should I use?

3. Run System

• Open HubTool

• On the bottom right side of the application select the USB-C-Switch device.

Note

Linux users will need run the script labeled “udev.sh” located in the “BrainStem_linux_Driverless” folder before they will be able communicate with a BrainStem device.
