NFC Cockpit issue under Windows 10

Hi,

I'am trying to work with the PNEV7462B eval board and the NFC Cockpit tool (v1.3.0.0) under Windows 10.

I have successfully updated the board (firmware and eeprom) through the mass storage 'channel'.

After reboot, a new USB virtual serial port appeared (COM11) but Cockpit doesn't see it. The port selector combo is empty.

I also reinstalled the VCOM driver (forcing Windows 10 to install unsigned drivers) but the result is the same.

Is there a known issue around this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Jean-Pierre

After a new positive test done under Windows XP running in a VM on the same computer, the issue met under W10 is clearly related to the installation of the PN7462 VCOM driver.

To be continued...

Finally it works after reinstalling the VCOM driver using another method:

peripherals->update driver->choose driver in list->select PN7462AU VCOM Port.

The device name now appears as PN7462AU VCOM (COM11)
