There are different aspects of the software for the ADALM-PLUTO and ADALM2000:
To install the drivers, it's a simple matter of downloading and running the driver installer.
Before running the installer, please ensure that the hardware supported by the drivers is not connected. If the hardware is connected when the installer is run, this can prevent the successful installation of the driver files.
This download should support all of : Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7 Service Pack 1. If you run into issues, please let us know.
At the end, you should see a picture like (either for Pluto or M2k):
If you don't see the above, and see something like this instead, this means the device is in dfu_update mode. It's likely in this mode since a bad firmware is in the device; or a firmware update failed for some reason. To recover from this it's a matter of ensuring the latest firmware is on the device.
From the control panel navigate to Programs and Features. Double click or right click and select Uninstall. Uninstalling the PlutoSDR-M2k-USB-Win-Drivers package will automatically remove the Windows Driver Packages (USBser, WinUSB and Net) shown below as well.
Once the drivers are installed, and the device (Pluto or M2k) is plugged in, the following subsystems should be ready to use:
You need to have find your favorite Terminal program, here are a few of the ones we use (but don't support - if you have questions, please check with the internet/google).
The terminal settings are 115200 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. This is referred to as 115200-8N1. The default username is root
, and the default root password is analog
.
Finding the serial port (which constantly changes, every time you plug a device in), is just matter of checking device manager (see above).
It should be a simple matter of opening the drive, in this case, double click on “D”, to get at the info.html page.
Like most of the network settings on Pluto or the M2k - things are meant to be easy to use. This also means things are inherently insecure.
For example - the root password of Pluto is analog
. We post it on the Internet. Think about that for a moment. This could allow anyone with an IP connection to take over the device and use it for malicious purposes.
Never set up a bridge between the Internet and a network connected Pluto with the default images.
Unfortunately - nothing on your host understands the what the IP address of the usb device is. You, the human behind the keyboard need to understand this before any sort of networking will work. There are two main ways to do this:
The IP number is set by the device, and can be found by looking inside the ADALM-PLUTO's mass storage device, and the info.html
page. Just lick on the version
button at the top of the page:
and then check out the Pluto IP address, and the host IP address.
In this case, the IP address of the PLUTO device is 192.168.2.1
(which is the default for all devices). If you need to change this (if you have multiple devices), please check the customizing Pluto documentation.
Open your favourite serial application:

The IIO device shows up in device manager, and allows you to make native IIO connections to the device.
Bringing up a Windows Console should show you something like this:
