Morning,

having some issues with my ecio40 & ecio28 boards

Seams after Wednesdays update something has gone wrong, have tried re installing the drivers but get error message's as attached - worked previously ok
anybody got any ideas, or this happening to them.

ecio not showing in device manager when plugged in but sometimes see a notification in task bar that something plugged in no error messages.

running win 7 X64 home on pc

Hi!
Have you tried using these signed drivers?

I noticed once that the flowcode v7.1 installer included unsigned ones

Hi Ets

Just tried the ecio 40 from

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16552&p=77541&hilit=Signed#p68288

Didnt work either

Hi Steve,

The driver is working ok for me, win 7 64-bit.
Maybe the driver installation wizard on your PC has become damaged.

You can try right clicking the driver "mchpusb.inf" file and selecting install.

Also make sure the files are extracted from the zip file as Windows struggles to deal with resource files inside zips. I use winrar as that extracts everything first to a temp folder to get around these problems.

Hi Ben

I unziped the file first, I get the EULA and then the installing software dialog box then after a few seconds the Failed message shows.

Will have a go with right clicking the driver "mchpusb.inf" file and selecting install.

And get back to you

Steve

I installed these drivers on my fresh Win 7 laptop last night and they were working there too and allowing me to program the ECIOs.

So the drivers definitely still work. Though that doesn't help you with your problem.

will have another go tonight they used to work on the previous version of V7

Hey, i had a flashback!

What devices you have connected when trying to install the driver? Can you pull other USB devices out to try with just minimum?

I had once problems with driver installation and finally traced the problem to be USB card reader being connected at same time with EB006... Pulled it out and everything worked like charm.

Hi Ets

No other usb devices connected when trying to install

did the right click - install this did something

Still not working , there must be some sort of driver loaded somewhere as I have a icon in notifications

device manager doesn't list the ecio under USB

Looking like a wipe and start again just tried my usb RS232 adaptor and this loaded ok when plugged into the same port

Steve

I wonder if it is worth running mLoader and seeing if that catches the ECIO when you plug it in

Hi Leigh

How do i do that ?

Steve

Hi Steve,

You can run mLoader from the Flowcode directory, it should live in the "tools/mLoader" folder.

e.g.

Flowcode 7/Tools/mLoader/mLoader.exe

If the ECIO is detected when you hit the reset button and the LED is flashing then the red circle will change to a green circle with the text ECIO inside.

Hi Ben

looked at Wikipedia my mother board don't have that chip-set to suit the Itanium executable.

Tried the Mloader route and is working now

thank you your your assistance

Not sure what happened as the driver did work previously
