Confused - Does the SW work on Win7 64 bit?

[stanley_hsu]

Hi.

I find no reference anywhere whether the development kit can work on Win7 64 bit. I installed it but I think the USB driver did not install right and I can not figure out if it is because the SW is incompatible or if I installed it wrong. Can someone help me clear this up?

Thanks!

What version of the NNDK are you using? Also, what revision of what dev board do you have?

(These are important, as the rev of the dev board will determine the USB-uart chip that it uses and hence the driver.)

I have used the last several versions of the NNDK under Win7 64 bit. I usually run a full version of Eclipse (currently Indigo works the best), but I have also tested the default NBEclipse version and it works. If you are new to NB then I would like to point out there is a Wiki with a FAQ, there is a brief entry on Windows 7. I don't believe it has any info on 64 bit vs 32 bit though. There is another entry on using Eclipse on a 64 bit OS.

In general the FAQ is worth taking the time to read.

Discussing this internally, it turns out that the latest build of the installer didn't package the driver in it. So, upgrading to the latest build would work fine, but from a fresh install the usb driver would be missing.

CORRECTION: The driver did get packaged; it didn't get installed. To do that, you'll need to navigate to the NetburnerUSB_DriverInstall directory of the NNDK install (C:\nburn\NetburnerUSB_DriverInstall\) and launch the installer there.
