windows 10 and silicon labs dev boards

Can you tell messages and what leads up to issues?

C

no error messages windows makes sound to acknowledge usb item inserted then in simplicity I refresh detected hardware and says no hardware found not getting any errors just nothing when connected for any of the 3 boards so im going to rule out a faulty board

Have you tried WIN10 system update?

Click on Windows "Start" icon, "Settings", "Update & recovery". "Windows update".

Seem like issues with USB drivers are rampant with version 10.

Fully updated might give silicon labs a message and see if they have had any issues or if its my pc that's the issue

I'm working in Linux, Ubuntu 14.04,  right now. But I have Win10 VM. I'll crank it up, install SS and see what I can find out.

thanks rick didn't see your message there if it doesn't work for you then I know its an issue with windows if it does work for you then I think I will get Linux running on another pc I have that has been sat in a corner for a long time because I couldn't get an os to install but might have to try again

No problem...

Ok, I am installing SS now with the EFM32ZG connected and it found it. But it's still in the middle of the install. I think it's going to take a bit. It may be hung up, seems like that happened when I installed on Ubuntu as well. I may have to stop it and do the updates manualy. But it did detect the SI board.

Hey, do you already have the EZR32WG starter kit? I saw you mentioned 3 boards.

yea i have the wireless kit aswell it came with the rest of the kit might have been as i had the 868mhz (800 and something) kit

Right, I'm assuming you're in the UK.

Simplicity is still loading on my Win10 VM. I'll let ya know what I find out.

Hey Shane...

I installed SS on Win10 VMand it found the EFM32ZG board no problem. I compiled and flashed one of the example programs and it ran fine.

You're not getting any error messages or anything? Just not finding the board?

When you plug the baord into the computer, there should be two leds lit. A green one blinking, maybe a couple times a second, just behind and to the inside of the USB connector. There's also a blue LED next to the USB connector. When the board is not connected it blinks rapidly. Once it finds the board it will change to solid. Are you seeing these LEDs lit at all?
