With much anticipation my shiny new domino has finally arrived
However i seem to be very stuck, currently holding down the loader button and plug the board into the usb port on my pc however windows doesn`t seem to know i have plugged it in, therefore i cant load the drivers and continue on to the firmware via teraterm etc etc.
Currently when i plug in the power led is on full and the led1 is is on kinda half the brightness.
I checked windows out with a different usb device it hadn`t seen before and that work so the usb port on the pc is ok.
Iām using Windows 7. I just plugged it in, no button pushing required, when the dialog popped up as Windows was trying to find the driver I stopped it and redirected it to the proper driver. If youāve goofed things up youāll have to find the Domino in the Device manager and use the āUpdate Driverā button to load the correct driver.
(do not press any buttons)
When you plug domino to your PC using USB cable, it is detected and windows load the debugging driver, correct?
When you open MFDeploy, you can see USBizi under USB and you can ping the device, right?
Now, hold reset button down and keep holding, windows will make a disconnect noise, correct? And also USBizi disappears from MFDeploy, correct?
Keep holding reset button and now press and hold LDR buttonā¦keep on holding LDR button down and now release reset. Windows now should ask for new drivers, the loader drivers, correct? You are still holding LRD button downā¦do you see USBizi in MFDeploy? You shouldnāt
As Jeff_Birt said, check your device manager for your domino board. Update your driver there.
Probably windows messed something up and there is a miss-match. After updating your driver it should be fine.
When you plug domino to your PC using USB cable, it is detected and windows load the debugging driver, correct? āNOPEā i can add these driver manually but i get the following warning in device manager. This device cannot start. (Code 10).
When you open MFDeploy, you can see USBizi under USB and you can ping the device, right? āNOPEā no devices seen in mfdeploy.
I think you are trying to load the loader drivers on the firmware debugging interface!
Do not press any buttons, power up the device and load these driver
C:\Program Files (x86)\GHI Electronics\GHI NETMF v4.0 SDK\USB Drivers\GHI_NETMF_Interface
That is exactly the driver and method i have manually tried resulting in the device showing up in the device manager with the code 10 error. the device does not show in mfdeploy. the drivers i am using where downloaded from the latest sdk posted link on the website.
i wonder if it is a issue with x86 win7 and compatibility with the driver ?
i tried with a additional power supply, this didnt help so ill wait till monday and try plugging it into my works laptop. im pretty sure its not gonna make much difference tbh but ill try on monday, that being said all the replies are very much appreciated.
Windows never once asked for any drivers when the board was plugged in, in fact it never even beeped to acknowledge a device had actually been plugged in.
I did try a usb camera the pc hadnt seen before in the same usb port on the pc just to check the pc was working and it detected that straight away so im pretty certain the pc in itself is ok.
I have a xp pro machine that i use for writing software at work i`ll try that on monday.
Im not overly concerned at the moment im sure somehow well get it working, I have alot plans up my sleeve for the USBizi chipset, and im certainly not throwing the towel in, over a minor solvable issue
Thats correct, on first powerup and ever since the power led is on full and the led1 is on but very faint, and yes i ordered direct through this website. if i remember correctly the checkout was through the ghi website
Have you tried a different USB cable (you want a USB-A to USB mini-B). I have seen flaky USB cables wreak havoc, creaking very hard to diagnose problems.
