| + | ===== Setting up FTDI drivers for Stellaris board ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | It seems the FTDI drivers are a real pain to install. The Micromint Eagle50E board uses the Luminary Micro driver for programming and debugging the board via USB. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Every time I install the tools on a new computer, I have problems usually ending with a dll not properly installed (armlmiftdi.dll). | ||
| + | |||
| + | Here is what I did the last time: | ||
| + | |||
| + | After installing the tools and plugging the board in the computer, two new incomplete entries were created in Device Manager, under Universal Serial Bus Controllers: | ||
| + | |||
| + | Both entries were named "Stellaris Evaluation Board" and neither had a driver installed (yellow icon in front of the entry). | ||
| + | |||
| + | Right-click on the first entry, select "Update driver software", select "Browse my computer for driver software" and point it to C:\Program Files | ||
| + | |||
| + | It will look for a while and finally install the driver. The entry is renamed "Stellaris Evaluation Board A". | ||
| + | |||
| + | Do the same thing with the second entry, which will be renamed "Stellaris Evaluation Board B". | ||
| + | |||
| + | Then a new incomplete entry will show up in Ports: Stellaris Virtual COM Port with the yellow icon. Do the same thing and you should be done. | ||
