I have just bought a CYBT-353027-EVAL board, and I have installed WICED Studio.
This page says "Paste the folder in the WICED Studio 6.2 folder path …\ WICED-Studio-6.2\20706-A2_Bluetooth\Platforms\", but this path does not exist on my PC. 

I downloaded "ez_serial_cybt_353027_fw_image_1.2.27.27", but I can't find instructions on how to install it.

Can anyone advise on the next step? Thanks.

Yes, please uninstall WICED STUDIO 6.6. It is only for combo devices. 

Please use WICED 6.2.

If you only needs to run the EZ-SERIAL FW,  you don't need to download the WICED Studio. 

You can use the module programmer to program the FW and run the application referring to the ez-serial user guide.

Actually I want to modify an existing project - this is the first CYBT part I have bought and need to start experimenting with the capabilities. I just don't understand how to get the "\20706-A2_Bluetooth\Platforms\" folder to exist in my file system.

The default  folder is located in "C:\Users\xxxx(user name)\Documents\WICED-Studio-6.2.1\20706-A2_Bluetooth\platforms". Please check it.

This is all I can see in that folder. Do I need to uninstall WICED-Studio 6.6 and install 6.2.1 instead? Have I missed some checkboxes during installation maybe?
