Windows stopped recognizing Nirscan Nano

Hi,

I've been working with the Nirscan Nano, making some changes to the software, compiling and reloading via the GUI & USB however suddenly the Nano is no longer being recognized by Windows. I get a "Code 43: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems".

I've tried multiple USB cables and multiple windows machines to no avail. My guess is that something I have done is crashing the software on the Nano however without being able to connect to the GUI via USB I can't reload the original firmware.

Is there another way to restore the Nano's firmware?

Cheers,

Ben

  • Ben,

    Firmware can also be loaded by the use of a JTAG emulator (XDS200, for instance) regardless of what is stored in the Tiva microcontroller's flash, or its current running state. The XDS100 is also available, but is much slower with less hardware debug capability, and does not usually come with the required ARM 10-pin connector.

    Having an emulator will also be very useful if you are making code changes in the Tiva firmware, as it will allow you to debug the Tiva firmware, set breakpoints, etc.
