Spartan 3E USB Driver Issue - Again!

heedaf · ‎06-11-2011

I've had the same problem with my 3E starter board since version 10.1. I thought I had a work-around figured. When the USB driver could not be found issue came up I uninstalled the driver, rebooted and reinstalled the driver and it worked ok. Not anymore! I've tried everything I can think of and nothing works. I even tried the following thread without any luck.

Can anyone tell me what I can do to figure this out?

what operating system are you running?

what version of ISE is installed?

what version of Jungo/WinDriver device driver is installed?

What error messages are you getting?

Double check switches & jumpers once. You mentioned nothing is working in this post. Please send what is the problem you are facing. Is it configuration problem? In that case please send log file and status register details.

I edited the post after I noticed I forgot the details but I guess it didn't take effect.

13.1

Windows 7 (Occurred under XP as well and a different computer)

Jungo - 10.2.1.0

"USB Driver not found" and then Windows gives me an error for this USB driver. This is the same problem that is reported multiple times in the forum.

I was able to get it working after I unistalled the driver, restored to an earlier version of Windows and then reinstalled the driver. I've never had a problem with any other USB driver.

I've noticed that I can recreate the problem if shut the board off without powering down the computer first.
