MMWAVE-STUDIO: FTDI Drivers refuse to install (AWR1642 BOOST)

Mitchel Szazynski

Part Number: MMWAVE-STUDIO

Hello, I am trying to download MMWave studio, and I keep getting the "FTDI drivers not installed" error. I see on a previous forum question, that someone managed to get around this issue by deactivating windows driver signature... is this still the only way to fix the issue? I have never done that before and am slightly concerned about the ramifications, and whether IT will allow it.

Thanks--can you give a quick word of instruction on how to install? I tried dragging the ftdi folder in the zip provided on here into the mmwave studio folder under the C/Ti to replace the old FTDI folder, but when I ran the install package again, it still gave the same error.

Mitchel,

after copying the files over, have you tried updating the driver through Device Manager? Just right click on the device and follow the instructions to point to the location where they are saved.
