    To my embarrassment, I accidentally found out that the driver is installed when the PC is rebooted with the development board switched on and connected to a USB port.

    Anyway, perhaps someone may find this simple solution useful.

Hi,


Please try to uninstall and reinstalled the USB blaster driver. Make sure the driver is correctly installed.


Regards,

    Thanks for your reply. The driver has been correctly installed. Hence, that is not the solution I am afraid.

      Apologies, I was too hasty in my reply. In 'Control Panel' -> 'Printers and Devices' -> 'Bluetooth and Devices', under 'USB Blaster', it is mentioned that the 'Driver is unavailable'
      Does anyone know where to download the driver?
