I tried to install IDE & SDK 3.0.1 to a 64-bit Windows 7 machine.  After installing, I can't get Broadcom debug board to work and I found out that there is no driver for FTDI.

I tried to run "dpinstall.exe" manually but the program complained that a 64-bit version of dpinstall.exe should be run on this machine.

- Where can I get a 64-bit version of dpinstall.exe so I can manually install drivers for the debug board with FTDI IC?

- Is there any other way to install drivers or to make the debug board to work?

Hi,

Wiced SDK 3.0.1 runs okay on 64-bit Windows 7 PC.

Wiced drivers, including JTAG and serial ports, are attached.

USB drivers are missing on the limited release of SDK-3,0.x because it was expected users are moving from earlier SDK release to SDK-3.0.x. But other releases, SDK-2.4.0 and SDK-2.4.1, drivers are located in .../Drivers/BCM9WCD1EVAL1_Drivers directory of Wiced SDK.

FTDI chip on the Wiced evaluation board is already programmed with a correct driver. If you need more info about FTDI chip programming please take a look at WICED FTDI chip programming blog.
