ADS1298ECGFE-PDK with Windows 7

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS1298ECGFE-PDK

Hi,

I am having trouble connecting my ADS1298ECGFE-PDK to my 64-bit Windows 7 machine.

I initially downloaded software v1.1.1 (assumed suitable for use with Win7) from the TI website. Succeffuly installed the ADS129xECG-FE component, but while installing the USBStyx driver, the following error appears:

"There was a problem starting libusb0.dll"

The rest of the installation continues successfully, and when connecting the device to the computer, the device is recognised under "NI-VISA USB Devices" in Device Manager.

Once I start the software, however, the device reverts to "Unknown device" in Device Manager, when I know it should appear as "LibUSB Win32 Devices - USBStyx".

Running the software with the device connected results in:

Locating Binary
Reading Binary File
USB Connection Established
No Firmware Found... Downloading
Download Failed... Reset the Hardware

A dialogue box appears saying "The firmware load has failed due to a timeout condition. Please reset the hardware to continue loading the firmware".

At which point I reset the device, click 'retry' and it goes through the same routine, getting stuck at "DSP not ready... Retrying".

Is the 64-bit version of Win7 the problem here? I don't have access to a WinXP machine, and I'm not sure if I should just try and install the LibUSB drivers from elsewhere.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Thanks,

Ric

Hi,

I'm having exactly the same issue with Windows 8. Is there a driver for this operating system?

Thank you

The software is not supported on Windows 8.

You might refer to http://e2e.ti.com/support/data_converters/precision_data_converters/f/73/t/298652.aspx
to see if this helps resolve any issues.
