To build the drivers:

1. Install the following:

Microsoft Windows Driver Kit (WDK) for Windows Developer Preview

8141 or newer

Perl 5.0 or newer

Visual Studio 2010

2. Run the buildDriver.pl script (found in QMI\win\qcdrivers\) using the

following syntax:
Perl buildDrivers.pl [Checked]
[Checked] is optional parameter to build checked drivers
Ex: Perl buildDrivers.pl
Ex: Perl buildDrivers.pl Checked
For details about building the drivers, see the content of buildDriver.pl.
--------------------------------------------------------------5. INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
Driver Installation
On All Windows systems (XP/Vista/7/8)

64-bit systems must have test certificate installed first. See

section below On 64-bit Windows systems before attempting to
install.

Manual Installation: follow the procedure documented in 80-V46091, point the driver to the fre/chk path (e.g.
QMI\win\build\target\fre\Win7) when system asks for driver files.

Windows 7 might not prompt for the driver installation when a USB
device is plugged in. In this case, open the device manager and
manually install a driver for each device instance by right
clicking on each device with the yellow warning icon and selecting
Update Driver Software.

Next select Browse my computer for driver software.

Finally, select the path to the drivers for the intended operating
system:

On Windows 8 ARM Only

Starting with Windows 8 release 8170 and later, the following changes
must be done prior to installation of the test signed serial driver.

Launch regedit in admin mode

Add the following keys:

Set the REG_MULTI_SZ value named "TestPath" under

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\CI\TRSData"
to \Windows\System32\drivers\qcusbser.sys.
Set the REG_DWORD value named "UMCIAuditMode" under
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\CI" to 1

Follow the instructions under "On 64-bit Windows systems and ARM"

On 64-bit Windows systems and ARM (including 64-bit WIndows XP/Vista/7/8)

IMPORTANT CHANGES (All operating systems)

Installation of Filter Driver (including 64-bit WIndows XP/Vista/7/8)

Filter driver is a mandatory driver that should be installed for external
QMI clients to work.

Please follow the instructions below to identify the Qualcomm

"USB Composite Device" to update it to the filter driver. If there are
more than one "USB Composite Device" please go through each one to
identify the right Qualcomm device.

Go to Device Manager, Expand "Universal Serial Bus controllers" and for

each "USB Composite Device" right click and go the properties:

Go to Details Tab and look at the "Hardware Ids" property and it should
show the VID/PID of the device for Ex. USB\VID_05C6&PID_ in the Value
box. Please identify the correct VID/PID of the Qualcomm Device

After Identifying do Driver update on the Identified "USB Composite Device"

Follow the same instructions under On All Windows systems above by selecting
the Browse for driver software on your computer -> Search for driver software
in this location and entering the path to the drivers for the target operating
system.
After updating the Composite device the QMI clients should start communication
with the device
Driver Upgrade
To update a driver, use one of the following options:

Uninstall driver and reinstall driver

From Device Manager, manually update driver as shown below:

Follow driver installation steps to complete driver update.

On 64-bit Windows systems, Windows Vista and Windows 7, manually updating

driver may not work if the driver to be installed is actually older than
the existing driver. In such a case, follow steps below:

uninstall the existing version of the driver, as a result a

previously installed version may be used automatically by the
system

try to update driver

if system indicates again the existing driver is newer, repeat the

above steps until the system starts to use an older driver version
or all versions of the driver are removed from the system.
