2. When the installation is complete, power down the system if you need to install a USB 3.0 PCIe adapter card. If installing an ExpressCard adapter the laptop does not need to be shutdown. If the system already comes with a USB 3.0 host adapter skip ahead to Demo3 Assembly.
USB 3.0 Adapter Installation (optional)
3. Consult the instructions supplied with your USB 3.0 adapter. These generally encompass the following steps:
a. Hardware installation consisting of placing the adapter card into a free slot.
Tip #1: From our experience with various NEC/Renesas based PCIe adapters, it has been noted that these designs typically have a supplemental power connector on the board. This connector is usually a 4-pin Molex (legacy hard drive) or 4-pin Berg (floppy drive) type: 
In some cases, the system may not have any available power connectors. While in others cases, they may not be the appropriate type or no adapter is available. In these situations, some users have forgone this power connection with no ill effects, so it may not be 100% necessary. However, you will need to test if this works for your particular setup.
b. Reboot system.
c. Driver installation
Tip #2: The drivers packaged with the adapter may be out of date. It is strongly recommended to download the latest drivers for your particular adapter. A ZIP file containing the latest drivers for various USB 3.0 vendors are found here.
d. Firmware update – Only known affect NEC/Renesas based adapters. These designs have programmable firmware which may also be out of date. It is recommended to check and update if necessary.
Tip #3: 
Run the NEC/Renesas utility, typically located at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Renesas Electronics\USB 3.0 Host Controller Driver\Application\nusb3utl.exe
Or for older versions of software:
C:\Program Files (x86)\NEC Electronics\USB 3.0 Host Controller Driver\Application\nusb3utl.exe 
Since there are different generations of NEC/Renesas parts, there are different corresponding firmware versions for each.
μPD720200:
Uses 3xxx series firmware, recommend version 3028 or later
μPD720200A
Uses 4xxx series firmware, recommend version 4015 or later
μPD720201 / μPD720202
Uses 2xxx series firmware, recommend version 2017 or later
The latest NEC/Renesas FW in the ZIP file found here, in "Renesas_(NEC)".

The Demo3 interface board utilizes a new sensor headboard interface that supports parallel, CCP, MIPI, and HiSPi interfaces through a single connector. Due to this design, all new headboards will be designed for the Demo3 interface. As of September 2012 there are two headboards using this interface, the AR0833 and AR1330. If you are using either of these sensors, assembly involves simply connecting the headboard to the Demo3.

The Demo3 also supports headboards designed for the previous Demo2/Demo2X interface boards. A Demo2 headboard to Demo3 adapter must be used in this case. The adapter provides the legacy 26 + 13 pin parallel headers and two RJ-45 jacks for the CCP, MIPI or HiSPi connections. Assembly consists of connecting the headboard to the adapter; and then connecting the adapter to the Demo3.

...
- It is possible to connect the Demo3 assembly to a USB 2.0 host with either cable. However, performance will be limited to USB 2.0 bandwidth. This usage is not recommended, but may be useful for troubleshooting issues with the USB 3.0 host.

Demo3 Driver Installation
Once connected, the Windows operating system will detect the Demo3 and attempt to install an appropriate driver. If one is not found, it will prompt for a driver location. 
to the locations noted earlier and path to the folder that suits the flavor of Windows you use (Windows7 dialogs shown):

Tip #2: Windows7 will attempt to search the Windows Update site for a driver. If your system is behind the Aptina onsemi corporate firewall, Windows Update will be blocked and this action will eventually timeout and fail. To save a few minutes of your time, click the bubble that appears on the taskbar:
Next click "Skip obtaining driver software from Windows Update":
Click "Yes" on the "Driver Software Installation" dialog:
Then begin the "Update Driver Software…" process described in Tip #1.
Tip #3:
The Demo3 Team has uploaded Windows7 drivers for the Demo3 to the Windows Update site. Users, who have internet access that does not block the Windows Update site, will automatically have drivers installed for them.
Tip #4:
To confirm the Demo3 driver installation:
- Run the Device Manager.
- Expand the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" section.
- Then check for the "Aptina onsemi Demo3" (making note of any error codes/warnings):
