Driver Installation

The document provides steps to install a CH340 USB device driver for Arduino boards with a CH340 chip on Windows and Ubuntu systems. For Windows, it involves downloading the CH340 EXE driver file from a link, running it as an administrator, and checking that the USB serial port is now visible in the Device Manager. For Ubuntu, it involves checking if the driver is already present by identifying the board in the output of lsusb, and if not, extracting the Linux CH340 ZIP driver files from a link provided. Common steps for both systems include adding a URL to the Arduino IDE to support the board.
