RE: [2] Looking for TMS320C6x EVM PCI Borad's driver for W indows XP - Clasquin, Ferry - Apr 23 11:52:00 2002

Craig, Par,

Please find below information regarding the Bug# SDSq19226

For those of you who could not get the C6x01 EVM drivers to install on Win
2000,
we currently have a patch that can be installed over CCS 2.10.

This patch can be downloaded from the url below.
https://www-a.ti.com/downloads/sds_support/C6000-2.10.00-FULL-to-C6000-2.10.
10-FULL.htm

1. Direct your browser to the above url and click on where it says click
"here" to download
the self-extracting executable.
2. Double click on the downloaded .exe file.
3. If you get a windows dialog box indicating "A read only file is detected"
Click Yes to
overwrite it.
4. Restart the PC (Important Step, eventhough may not be prompted to
restart)
5. Upon Restart some PCs, may present you with a dialog box looking for the
evm6x.inf file.
Please browse to the c:\winnt\inf folder and select the evm6x.inf file
and click OK.
Also, please note that you need to be a registered user, to download
patches from Update
Advisor and also need to have a valid subsription

Windows XP we haven't tested, but should be the same driver, as Windows XP
is the same kernel
as Win 2K...

Best regards,

Ferry
European PIC

Yes, Ti actually mention this under bug# SDSsq19226 6201/6701 EVMs via
PCI will not work on some PCs running windows 2000 (v2.00)
http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/dsps/hotline/techbits/c6bug.htm#SDSsq19226

But I think it also has a lot to do with your hardware as I have tried
endlessly to get it working on a machine at work. We have turned
plug'n'play off, and reinstalled the drivers with no luck.
