Zadig For Mac
Hedy Madrid
Hi,
I am using a windows 8.1 system. For flashing my spark core firmware I installed the zadig driver. Is there any way to use this driver for serial communication? The driver is listed in my device manager as USB-Device.
First I had installed the the Spark Core USB Driver according to the manual of BDub:
@Roadrunner in my case when I flash the spark I am able to see the it in the COM&LPT list, however I cannot connect to it via putty. I then press the reset and hear Windows to play a sound to indicate that a usb device has been unplugged. As soon as I hear the connect sound from Windows I connect via putty and this time it works.
For a while I thought you needed to use the spark_core.inf driver for COM and Zadig for DFU, but later I found out Zadig works for COM and DFU. EDIT: and then later I realized you really do need both! lol.
You have about 10-15 seconds before this will kick your core off the cloud, so be quick. You also have to do the above process if you want to reflash your device over the air from the web IDE, because it will be stuck in the setup() and not able to receive a new program until you connect your serial terminal properly.
I think you really do need to use the spark_core.inf driver as well but it gets along fine alongside the Zadig USB driver. We've discussed this elsewhere but I think it is useful to mention it in this post since it also has @BDubs's neat "wait while I press the key" trick.
Hi, anyone knows if replacing the USB driver for trezor with the zadig program, will it affect
the driver for the keyboard as well? I am using a IBM travel keyboard that needs a
special driver afaik, to function. So I want to make sure it is not overwritten.
