Picopp folder missing in SDK r10.4.1.1

Post by BSI »

I want to install the Pico driver without installing Picoscope.

In the SDK 10.4.1.1 folder ..system\, the SystemDrivers readme file indicates:
Before using the examples for USB devices, kernel
drivers must be installed. This is normally performed
by the PicoScope or PicoLog installer.

In order to install kernel drivers manually run dpinst.exe
which can be found in one of the subfolders.

For x86 you will also need to copy picopp.inf to SYSTEMROOT\inf
and picopp.sys to SYSTEMROOT\system32\drivers.
Running DPinst.exe seems to have no effect. There is also no trace of picopp.inf and picopp.sys in this SDK version: no picopp folder anywhere. I worked before with SDK 10.1.0.17 and it had a picopp folder...

thx.

You will find them in system\x86 and they are needed. If you use Picolog or Picoscope6 they will already be installed.

Martyn,
Here is the content of the system\x86 folder from the SDK zip file:
System-x86 folder.PNG
no picopp.sys nor .inf, so they can't be manually placed in their expected location...

Sorry for that, it is actually missing from that release.

I have attached the x86 folder here.
