In Topic: Firmware update failed

17 August 2010 - 02:28 PM

I got it all up and running again with the instruction in the link above. I did have to resort to Windows XP 32-bit to get the Atmel SAM-BA drivers to install. They won't install on 64-bit Windows XP. This time, the updating of the firmware was quick and smooth. Still not sure why this went wrong the first time.

4. Plug in your Netduino's usb cable back into your pc. At this point for me, windows vista searched automatically for a driver and found the right one for a virtual serial port. If yours does not do this, you may need to point to the driver file in the Program Files > Atmel SAM-BA > Drivers directory.

...


Could it be that Atmel has no drivers for Windows XP 64-bit? Or any 64-bit OS for that matter?
Because when I try to manually point it to that directory, Windows XP 64-bit says that it "couldn't find the necessary software. make sure that the driver works with x64-based systems."
Is there any other driver I could install maybe? Because, it sounds like the COM port over USB could be something generic.

A closer look at some posts in the forum revealed this one: http://forums.netdui...rased-netduino/ I guess that's maybe something I should try? It's not exactly "erased" (as far as I know), but it's not working either. At least this seems a good option when you've totally screwed up. :-)
