Description
The driver package contains many folders. During installation, the user shall specify the folder according to the following table.
host operating system | device driver folder | automatic/online |
|---|---|---|
2000 | MS-Windows-2000.recommended | not available |
XP | MS-Windows-XP.recommended | not available |
Vista | MS-Windows-Vista+7 | not available |
7 | MS-Windows-Vista+7 | available |
8 | MS-Windows-Vista+7 | available |
Reccommended device driver folder depending on operating system.
Trenz Electronic device drivers are derived from the original Cypress generic USB device drivers, distributed with the Cypress SuiteUSB 3.4 (or later).
Driver installation on Microsoft Window 7 and Microsoft Window 8 can be performed automatically (on-line). It can happen that the first online driver installation attempt fails; in this case the user shall just force a retry (the second attempt normally works!). See section 2.1.2.3.2 Force the online search of USB Drivers Installation - User Manual.
Coexistence of Generation 2 and Generation 3 device drivers
Installation of both device drivers on the same host computer is normally possible.
Installation of both device drivers on the same host is not recommended under Microsoft Widows XP.
Please read USB Drivers Installation - User Manual (UM-drivers-TE_USB_FX2.pdf) for further details.

Reccommended device driver folder depending on operating system.
(1) Driver installation on Microsoft Window 7 and Microsoft Window 8 can be performed automatically (on-line). It can happen that the first online driver installation attempt fails; in this case the user shall just force a retry (the second attempt normally works!). The driver installed is NOT the Cypress generic USB device drivers (distributed with the Cypress SuiteUSB 3.4). but one of this two signed Cypress driver (they can be downloaded from Microsoft Update Catalog):
- Cypress - Other hardware - Cypress USB Generic Driver (3.4.7.000) for BI15xx where xx is 00,11,12,14, 32
- Cypress - Bus Controllers and Ports - ND-tech USB Adapter (Cypress USB Generic Driver, version 3.4.1.20) (link)
The second driver could be used but it is not recommended because two PIDs are possible.
Same VID and two different PIDs are possible (written in the corresponding .inf file):
Cypress VID (0x04B4) and PID (0x8613) (are typically shown)
Cypress VID (0x04B4) and ND-tech PID (0x1004) (it is shown if the board is disconnected and reconnected without power cycle after the firmware download onto EEPROM: this procedure is not correct)
