== '''Accessing SheevaPlug from a Windows 7 box''' ==
[httpStep 1://apvsbr700.blogspot.com/2010/04/connecting-to-sheevaplug- Connect the device usingthe mini USB -windows> USB cable.html Connecting to the Sheevaplug Using Windows]
Step 2: Chances are Windows will struggle to find drivers for the device so just use the SheevaPlug_Host_SWsupportPackageWindowsHost.zip file that is included in the DevKit CD. Unzip it and use Device Manager to browse for the TeraTerm Drivers (located as a sub directory in the zip file you just extracted).
Step 3: Windows will find 2 devices (USB Converter A and B) A = JTAG port B = serial port. We want to connect to the serial port.
 
Step 4: Click on Port B, select properties and in the Advance tab ensure LOAD VCP is selected.
 
Step 5: Unplug the device, and plug it back in.
 
Step 6: Using PuTTY, connect to the COM port of "PORT B" and make sure the SPEED is set to 115200.
 
 
 
 
Step 7: You might need to press ENTER once or twice to get the prompt to actually show (sounds silly but it took me a while to figure that out lol).
 
Step 8: Login using the default authentication information (username = root ) (password = nosoup4u)
