To set up your system to produce Flash Lite files for BREW, you need to locate and install the appropriate software from several sources. You also need to acquire the appropriate hardware (BREW-enabled devices, data cables, and so on). Much of the specific information required to install and configure these components is located in other Flash Lite or BREW documents.

To set up your system to support Flash Lite authoring for BREW, you complete the following tasks:

1. Register as a BREW developer.
2. Install the BREW SDK and Tools Suite.
3. Install Flash Lite 2.1 for BREW.
4. Install USB drivers for target devices.

 Register as a BREW developer

To register as a BREW developer, go to the QUALCOMM's main BREW site and follow the links on the Developer home page to become an authenticated BREW developer.

 Install the BREW SDK and tools

The instructions that follow describe how to install the BREW SDK on your computer. They assume that you have already registered as a BREW developer. For more detailed information about installing the BREW SDK or Tools Suite, see "Installing the BREW SDK" in Starting with BREW. Go to the BREW website and then choose Developer Home > BREW Documentation > Application Development Documentation.

1. From BREW Developer Home on the BREW website, click Download BREW Tools to display the BREW Development and Commercialization Tools page.
2. Navigate to the BREW Development area and click the appropriate link to download the most recent BREW SDK version (at this writing, BREW SDK 3.1).

   Follow the onscreen instructions to download and install the SDK.

3. After you install the SDK, install the tools.

   Navigate to the BREW Commercialization area of the BREW Development and Commercialization Tools page and click the link for the BREW Testing and Commercialization Utilities. Follow the onscreen instructions to install the Tools Suite on your computer.

   Your Start menu should now contain entries for both the BREW SDK and the BREW Tools Suite.

 Install Adobe Flash Lite 2.1 for BREW Devices

Flash Lite 2.1 for BREW Devices includes three components:

• Flash Lite Publisher for BREW (available from http://www.adobe.com/go/support_flashlite)
• Flash Lite 2.1 for BREW Simulator (available from http://www.adobe.com/go/support_flashlite)
• Flash Lite extension for BREW-enabled devices (available from the BREW website for testing purposes only. The extension is downloaded automatically to users' devices when they select and download a Flash Lite for BREW application.)

 Installing USB drivers for devices

Each device you intend to target for BREW development includes its own set of USB drivers, which must be installed on your computer. New devices should include a CD-ROM that contains these drivers; use these versions whenever possible. To install USB drivers for a device, follow the standard procedure for installing device drivers in Windows.
