Hello,

I have an eZ430-Chronos Development Tool and i have being tried to install the driver of acces point. There is a problem about finding driver. 

I'm using Win7 (64 bit) on my computer. Besides, İ have downloaded newer version of software (SLAC341). It must includes driver of RF Access Point.

What should i do else, can somebody help me?

    We solve the problem. We think new products of Chronos was produced with different product ID and vendor ID. Therefore, windows could not find device driver. So, we changed three lines that 27,30 and 33 (it may be different), in "usb_cdc_driver_cc1111.inf" file with new PID and VID values.

    You can find new PID and VID values from Device Manager > ez430 ... > Properties.

    1. Plug rf device to your usb port of pc
    2. Open Device Manager and you should see a unknown device that start with like ez430...
    3. Right click device and open properties window. then go to the last  tab (i think it is "Details" tab).
    4. You should see a drop down list.
    5. Select the "Hardware IDs" (I think it is second one)
    6. You can see like this "USB\ROOT_HUB&VID8086&PID3A35&REV0000"
    7. Your VID and PID number here. Please Note that.
    8. Open your driver .inf file. It is "usb_cdc_driver_cc1111.inf"
    9. Change three lines that 27,30 and 33 (it may be different) with your noted new VID and PID numbers.
    10. Finally, again in device manager, update the drivers of unknown device.

    Hi there,

    I have been trying but when i edit it , it says "Access Denied". However every option is administrative.

    Your options are getting the Windows SDK and signing the driver yourself or waiting for TI to sign the drivers.

    This doesn't actually resolve the issue in Windows 8 as it expects the driver to be signed. Is there a fix we can expect for this sometime soon?

    In the meantime, for the windows 8 users out there you can temporarily allow drivers to install without a signature. Just go to PC Settings -> General -> Advanced Startup -> Restart Now.

    Then once it has rebooted select Troubleshoot -> Advanced Options -> Startup Settings -> Restart.

    After restart just hit "F7" once it finishes booting you should be able to install whatever drivers you want. It will just prompt to confirm that you want to install them despite the fact that they are unsigned.

    Restarting again will force all driver installs thereafter to still be signed but your drivers should continue to work.

    p.s. For those with permissions issues, you will need to right click on the file and select Properties -> Security -> Edit -> YOUR USERNAME  and then check the "Write" permissions. You should then be able to write the VID and PID to the file.
