nrf9e5 EVKIT USB driver

[RoyB]

I understand from a FAQ that the USB driver for Win8 and Win7(64 bit) is not available and we must use XP or Win7(32 bit). Unfortunately I don't have either of these, so will it work with Vista? Or, even better, has anyone solved the problem for Win8?

Thanks

Roy

The new/latest nRF9E5 is update with a new programming dongle that works with newer versions of Windows. If you have an old kit, it is as you say, not possible to use it with new versions of Windows. If you could send me you location and address I can check to see if we have spare ones of the new dongle to send you. Please send me the address and contact information on a PM here on the forum.

I have the same situation. How can I get or purchase just the nRFprobe dongle from some distributor in the U.S.? The Dev kit user guide does not have any picture of the dongle. If you can share the protocol document, I can program a microcontroller to send the bytes to the eeprom via SPI interface. Let me know If you can help.

Thanks, mmm
