LcSoft Logic Analyser - drivers?
Posted: Mon May 23, 2016 10:22 am
Hi,
I have just bought one of the 16-channel 24 MHz logic analyser based on a bare PCB CY7C68013A dev. board.
When I plugged it into a windows PC (running variously XP up to Windows 10) it just can't find any drivers. I intend to use it with sigrok and I know to use the Zadig program to change logic analysers from their standard USB driver to the WinUSB one so I thought I would try it anyway.
Sure enough Zadig found my "Unknown Device #1" and allowed me to update it and it is now identified as 'fx2lafw'.
I would just say that this is a little disconcerting, and had I not been an experienced user I might not have been willing to just "bang on and try it anyway". I might have thought the board was broken and returned it.
Would it be possible to distribute a working driver with this board?
Failing that a simple note explaining how to get it up and running?
I post this in case it helps anyone else who has bought one of these boards.
regards

PS: I'm now trying to work out which of the 40 pins on the board are used to provide the 16 logic analyser channels. Again just a note to say would be very useful for people buying this unit.
