No other files or configuration to your build process are necessary. That driver makes an undocumented call that only genuine FTDI chips will respond to correctly, so the driver can tell whether a knockoff part is attached. So, when Windows interrogates the device, it appears to be FTDI, so Windows loads the FTDI driver. In controlled areas replacing some part by something cheaper without the suppliers of the parts certifying that this change is ok will bring you directly to jail. In others, it could also happen that the court considers such a development method to be criminal, if somebody was killed. Or you might have to get your USB-Serial cable from the corporate approved list.
- To install the required Arduino Nano driver Windows 8 drivers hassle-free, you can use the Bit Driver Updater.
- If you don’t have the drivers or you are unsure, you can find the FTDI drivers here, and a guide to installing them here.
- Using the VCP PC drivers for WinXP the serial adapter worked fine, so the hardware is not faulty.
I don’t think that’s what’s happening here. What’s going on is the driver determines whether the chip is genuine or not. If not then it sends what amounts to a ‘kill’ command that damages the chip. The genuine chip is never given this command, and if it was it would likely act the same way. I don’t see how changing the PID to 0 could possibly be unintentional.
Open the Device Manager by right clicking “My computer” and selecting control panel. Eqmod does not detect any com ports,and just comes back with not found. Select the Port Settings tab and click on the Advanced button.

Setup The Arduino Ide¶
If your USB/Serial http://driversol.com/drivers/ftdi/ adapter has a Prolific PL-2303 chips set, you can go to Prolific site and download their latest drivers. In the download package is a CheckChipVersion.exe and it will tell you the chip sets version. Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 are NOT supported in PL-2303HXA and PL-2303X versions of the chips.
Installing Device Drivers
Eventually you should end up with “USB Serial Converter A” and “USB Serial Converter B” in your device manager. Job done, you can now debug with OpenOCD. I have a Nexys A7 FPGA board, but when I tried to connect it to my PC trough micro USB cable, the PC could not recognize the device.
FTDI’s initial products were chipsets for personal computer motherboards, the primary customer of which was IBM, which used them in its AMBRA and PS/1 personal computers. You should be aware of this, as there are many fake FTDI chips on the market, and FTDI has been known to “patch” their drivers to break the clones. However, this problem is not specific to Windows 10. You can pretty much count on any 3D printer that works in Windows 7 working in Windows 10.
