Cannot install driver for serial communication

Post by Ruedi » Wed May 24, 2017 10:48 am

I cannot install a driver via pybcdc.inf on one of my PCs (W7-Professional-64bit).

On the device managers control panel I get <Pyboard Virtual Comm Port in FS Mode>
If I now try to <Update Driver Software...> <Browse for driver software on your computer> <Search for driver software in this location>
<E:\ (which is the pyboard location and pybcdc.inf is definitely there)> I get the following message: Pyboard Virtual Comm Port in FS Mode
could not be installed and: The driver software for the device could not be found.

I succeeded to install drivers on two PCs using this procedure. The installed drivers were C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\usbser.sys. In the
corresponding folder on the above PC this file was missing, so I inserted a copy.

I would be very happy for any advice to solve this problem.

Feel free to install the drivers from OpenMV for the pyboard. Just download all the files in the folder and double click on the correct exe for your platform.
