10 years agoI don't know about that particular executable for that dev kit. However, I am aware that a number of these board test system executables, for other dev kits, have caused my anti-virus software to highlight them, as you found. I suspect there is a common segment of code in all of them that is being identified.
I have chosen to add an exception for each one and continued to run them, successfully. I'm unaware of any untoward behaviour from any of the PCs I use. Note: I offer this as an observation only and not with any guarantee that your executable does not contain a virus! Cheers, Alex
