CC2540EMK-USB: BLE Packet Sniffer - Driver not installed correctly

Part Number: CC2540EMK-USB
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2540, PACKET-SNIFFER

Hi,

I'm just trying to bring the CC2540 USB Dongle to work with the packet sniffer software.

Im using version v2.18.1 (PACKET-SNIFFER)  --> http://www.ti.com/tool/packet-sniffer

My colleague  told me that he had already tested the dongle on a different PC and the program on the dongle was not changed.

So the dongle is in the same state as it was shipped.

I use Windows 10

Unfortunately the correct driver is not installed in the device-manager. (on properties page of the "CC2540 USB Dongle" device it says: "code 28: there are no compatible drivers available for this device")

I tried to locate the correct driver in the program folder (install directory):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\SmartRF Tools\drivers"

But it does not find any usable drivers in this folder.

Where can I find the correct driver?

please help, I would be really glad if you could help me bring the packet sniffer to work.

best regards

Andreas

  • I now found the correct driver for Windows 10 x64 which works correctly in the following post.

    Thanks to TI-Forum that it was already posted and resolved.
    I would be glad if the win10 x64 driver could be added to the original packet-sniffer archive! or at least added to the Packet-Sniffer Web-page

    best regards
