(SOLVED) USB connection for ActiveSync does not work

    Unfortunately the armStone board can not be detected by my Win7 System. I've tested it with a WinXP-System, too. But I have the same problem.
    In the device manager I can only see a yellow exclamation mark followed by "Generic Serial (PROTOTYP--Remember to change idVendor).


    Thats the reason why I can't establish an ActiveSync connection for debugging.


    An Ethernet connection works and the board is detected by FSDeviceSpy. Telnet and FTP work as well.
    So I followed your instructions to debug using an ethernet connection only, but this fails, too.


    Any comments? Do you have a separate USB driver?
    Thanks.

    Hello,


    ActiveSync:
    i test it several times on my W7 system and can connect! Sometimes i takes about 10 seconds.
    Did you use a "very" long USB device cable?
    Did you try an other USB port on your PC?
    Are some output on ther serial debug line?


    Ethernet:
    at which step the problems occur? You should use the "corecon" files which comes with your Visual Studio installation.

    Thanks for your reply.


    ActiveSync:It seems, that no driver can be found on my system.
    I'm using Win7 Home Premium, so some drivers are missing there ?!?


    This is the information from my device manager:

    Ethernet:
    I'm using VS2008 and I followed your instructions "Connect VS 2005 to NetDCU8 using LAN" and copied :
    o Clientshutdown.exe
    o ConmanClient2.exe
    o CMaccept.exe
    o eDbgTL.dll
    o TcpConnectionA.dll
    to the device.


    After starting ConmanClient2.exe and CMaccept.exe on the device and configured VS2008
    as requested I get the following message while connecting to the device:

    Debug-Output:

    Code
    1. USBFN: SDE: USB_FULL detected
    2. [UFNPDD] OTG Cable Attached
    3. USBFN: SDE: USB_HIGH detected
    4. [UFNPDD] RESET Again
    5. USBFN: SDE: USB_HIGH detected



    I've checked an other port, other short cables without success.

    The USB driver for Windows Mobile USB device was missing.
    I just let Windows search online for a suitable driver and it found one!


    Now I can establish a connection with VS2008.

    When I plug in the USB in windows 7 it catch the driver "Generic serial (PROTOTYPE...)


    And the application NetDCU -USB 2.2 can't found the USB connection...

    Hello,


    I try but W7 ever found the incorrect driver and the NetDCU usb application never turn the led in green color... I try to uninstall the drivers but ever return again the bad driver...


    My be F&S have some driver for connect the ArmStoneA8 to Windows 7 using the mini usb connection...


    Thanks

    Ah ok you talk about the connection with NetDCUUSBLoader.
    - Did you enter "du" for initialize the download?
    - Did you install the correct driver for W7 (see download NDCUUSBLoader)?
    - You can select/install the FSBoarddriver manually (you find it in the loaders install dir)

    I'm trying to configure the driver manually, but when I search the file *.ini ("FSBoardUSB.ini") the system show me a message about " the folder not contain any software driver compatible with the device")...


    Thanks very Much

    Hello,
    if ActiveSync does not work at all, the following setting resolves the problem:

    Code
    1. [HKLM\Drivers\Builtin\USBFN]
    2. "speed"=dword:1

    refer device driver documentation for details.
    In terms of "ndcucfg":

    Code
    1. reg open \Drivers\Builtin\USBFN
    2. reg set value speed dword 1
    3. reg save
