Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DP83825I, DP83825EVM
I'm using a WIN 7 PC (with full admin privileges) to try to connect to a DP83825EVM eval board so I can check and/or change register settings for the on board DP83825I chip using USB2MDIO GUI. I followed everything according to the user guide and downloaded both the driver and GUI from the link provided in that guide. Everything appeared to install without a problem but the driver will not load when I connect the USB. The PC sees me plug up the board via USB and it shows up in device manager but with a little warning symbol and says Windows unable to find compatible driver for the device. I tried rebooting the PC and reinstalling the driver from scratch, this time to a different location on PC's hard drive, still nothing. I tried multiple DP83825EVM boards (I have 4 of them), all do the same thing. All of this seems like it should be straight forward so I am stumped. Any ideas?
Below is an excerpt from the DP83825EVM user guide (SNLU239) showing the links where I went to get the driver and GUI software.
