After powering up the QuickFeather board and pressing the RESET button, Windows installed the drivers, but I found that on several machines the device driver had timed out, with an error code 10.

The fix I found was to either press the RESET button again or power cycle the board. This was only required when first installing the drivers on a new PC.

Otherwise, the board worked as expected out of the box.

Thank you for the feedback. UserGuide is updated with the information with regard to Windows 10 device driver may need reboot.

Thanks for the feedback. Are the Windows 10 version the same between the 2 machines? We have tested the board and drivers with Win 10 Pro.

I have the same problem. On Win10, it does not find the driver and displays error code 10. Because of this error, I cannot follow the example from your video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OW4wNNL ... ackster.io.

When trying to run the command from the example: python tinyfpga-programmer-gui.py --port COM4 --m4 quickfeather-simple-stream-data-collection.bin --mode m4

Outputs:
CLI mode
ports = ['COM4 (QuickFeather)'] 1
Using port COM4 (QuickFeather)

Is there a solution to this problem?

Has anyone figured out how to fix this?

I have only been able to get the Serial port to work on one of three Win10 Pro computers. And that took me several tries before it worked.

The port always shows up, but it fails to start.

@ ralphjy, thanks for your feeback. Can you let me know the Win 10 build version for the the PCs. The information can be found under Settings -> Home -> About -> Windows Specification.

All 3 computers are running Windows 10 Pro. Two are Version 2004, build 19041.804. One is Version 1909, 18363.1198.

One of the Version 2004 computers is working, but it took several tries before it would work. The standard serial device driver is quite old. This board probably needs a new driver.
