HDC1080EVM: no driver installed

Kolc

Part Number: HDC1080EVM

I have just ordered some HDC1080EVM boards for testing purpose. I installed the latest version of the GUI - Sensing Solutions EVM GUI Tool v1.9.4 (Rev. E). However, during installation no driver for the dongle was installed. After starting the GUI it states: "Not Connected" | "Ready". In the Windows Device Manager I can see "MSP430-USB Example", but it says no driver is installed.

I tried to uninstall-reinstall multiple times with administrator priviliges. No success.

I'm using Windows7 64bit.

I was searching through the whole web, but I did not found any driver for the dongle itself. Does anybody have a solution for this?

Hi user,

This is indeed a strange issue. For clarity can you provide a screen capture of the GUI while the EVM is connected to the system? Additionally, can you take a screen capture of device manager ports selection?

Best Regards,
Matt

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your response.

Here you have the screenshots. The USB dongle is plugged in, tried in multiple USB ports. The red LED is lighted up on the EVM.

Also, I tried this on my colleague's PC, also win7 64 bit. He has the very same issue. What are we missing?

Update: I managed to solve the issue. Although I could not find the EVM driver itself on the web, it turned out that the installer copies it into the installation folder. Now I browsed for it manually, and the EVM works fine!
Based on the installation manual this driver installation process should be automatic, which unfortunately did not happen on multiple PCs.
