I have been using the 2nd stage bootloader for a while on another computer (Win 10 with USB3) and it has been working fine.

I have now got a new Win 10 PC from HP with all USB3 ports and programming the FX3 Ram fails virtually every time in both my application and the Control Center.

DownloadFw just doesn't work and there doesn't seem to be a way to debug this.

A lot of users have complained about this. On my old PC I made it 100% reliable by setting my bootloader to start in USB2 mode.

99 times out of 100 it doesn't work on my new PC.

Any ideas on how to move forward?

I have uploaded the latest microsoft/intel drivers. It is an Intel USB 3.1 eXtensible Host ~Controller - 1.10 (Microsoft)

Hello Gary,

Both the boot firmware are found to be working fine in downloading the application firmware onto the FX3 RAM. Please let me know what application firmware are you trying to load into the FX3 RAM from the boot-loader.

EDIT: Please note that the USB 2.x version does not affect in loading the firmware into the FX3 RAM.

Best regards,

Srinath S
