BeMicro (Cyclone III version) Windows 64 driver

Hi all,

I'm a new FAE with Arrow, and in attempting to get BeMicro installed on my Windows 7-64 bit machine, I've noticed a lot of people having issues with this.

One of our FAEs in Europe worked with Hitex to create a Windows 64 compatible driver. I've confirmed that it works, and I can talk to the BeMicro without jumping through any hoops.

The new DLL should also not cause a conflict with the USB blaster driver, but I have not had the opportunity to confirm that yet.

Attached is the install file. It's an exe that I added the .zip extension to in order to allow it to upload to Altera forums.

Cheers.

    Are you sure you just added the .zip extension? I had to run unzip to get Win7 64-bit to recognize the file.

    I can confirm that this driver works with the BeMicro under Win64.

    Thanks!

    Cheers,

    Dave

    I just loaded the attached driver from Ilsie on my laptop with Windows 7 (64bit) and my BeMicro is now recognized.
