Install Driver Manually

For most hosts, although 1_install is installed, there are no COM ports shown. In this case, you need to manually add the 2_AddManully file folder. Here is the way to add: find the unrecognized device in Device Manager, right-click to add the driver as shown below:
Power on the G module, switch it ON and the module boots, and then the PC will recognize four unrecognized devices (5 or 6 devices are recognized). Here the picture only shows 5 devices.
