Hi,

The Driver installer will be available in the following path,

C:\Program Files (x86)\Cypress\CY4500 EZ-PD Protocol Analyzer\1.0\EZ-PD Analyzer Utility

Please find a similar thread CY4500: Device detected in EZ-PD but can't update firmware  for the reference.

Hi ,

I also looked into the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Cypress\CY4500 EZ-PD Protocol Analyzer\1.0 ,

in the 1.0 folder, there was only one folder name "Updater". I tried several times and tried on other laptop still the same.

The analyzer was yellow bang in device manager.

Hi ,

I got it. Thanks so much. Because I installed the utility first then the EXE file.

I have a question , what is the different between  :

EZ-PD Protocol Analyzer Utility Windows

CY4500 EZ-PD Protocol Analyzer EXE

Because I install both so cause the issue, if only install the EXE file then everything is fine.

Thanks

Hi,

CY4500 EZ-PD Protocol Analyzer EXE

This installer installs all necessary drivers necessary for CY4500 kit. This also includes a Protocol Analyzer Utility with PD 2.0 decoding capabilities.

EZ-PD Protocol Analyzer Utility Windows

This is our new Protocol Analyzer Utility based on Java. This can also decode PD 3.0 packets. CY 4500 EZ-PD Protocol Analyzer EXE needs to be installed to get necessary drivers for the kit to work.
