Hi All,
being the only one at work that even knows what Arduino is, ive been tasked with updating "firmware" in client critical plant and hence must be done on site.
all Arduino's are UNO from memory.
I have a Samsung galaxy book S running windows 10 64bit running on a Snapdragon 2.84 GHZ processor.
for the life of me i can not find a ARM64 driver for Arduino USB to Serial.
does anyone have a suitable driver please.
Do you mean DUE ?
If so you will need to install the cores for that board into the IDE to provide you with the functionality you need.
You don't need a 64 bit driver just A DRIVER.
Installing the cores will do that for you and also make the drivers available to other programming platforms in case you are not using the IDE itself for the task.

whoops its a UNO. i blame not enough coffee this morning before posting 
.
I know a 32 or 64 bit driver will make no difference. I have a Snapdragon as the processor not a intel or AMD, so its ARM64 architecture not X64, hence a standard x64 driver does not appear to be working.
Ok so that little mishap overcome.
Can you see and program a regular UNO with the IDE or other IDE and maybe an OTG cable ?
You may need to install a different type of IDE such as a chrome app ?
You may certainly be better with a regular laptop with either intel or amd and it does not even need to be particularly powerful.
Are you using the ARDUINO IDE or abn alternative IDE ?
Even most android cell phones are capable a UNO with an OTG cable.

i have the Arduino IDE installed on the laptop. this does not show the coms port at all, when it device manager the UNO shows up with the yellow triangle.
my mobile has ArduinoDroid installed. this works to communicate with the UNO.
i have been provided with the HEX only for flashing the devices. with instructions to use Xloader to install the software. and something called Terra Term to send the serial results back to them.
I think ill be able to load the Hex though the phone if it comes to it, but this Terra Term software is completely unknown to me.
i have sent them the serial recording from the ArdunioDroid software with them saying that they do not understand the output and i have to use the Terra Term thing.
The whole story is this job has come around from having a power surge take out these units series one boards, i have been provided with series three. upon install they are doing nothing at all. and the serial looks like its a program error. the company has now sent me a HEX file and demanded i use the two software's listed above.
Tera Term is simply a serial monitor program and I am sure you will get to grips with that aspect easily enough.
If the HEX is what you must use then they should have supplied you with the correct setting to set in tera term to be able to read back what the board has done after the upload.
Note you should only use on program at a time to read or send to the UNO so trying to use both XLOADER and tera term at the same time is a big NO.
That you have an exclamation mark may mean it is not a true UNO and may need additional drivers such as the CH340 or CP2102.
A clear picture in focus near the USB port would help us identify the type of board too ?
The readme at the top of each section has links to the CH340 drivers etc. and you can also find details using the forum search (upper right of screen).
frswa Do you want to make a picture about your hardware and capture your screen that is useful.
Appolgies for the delay guys I got sent to a different site for a couple of days.
Here is the board attached to a custom interface. It's a UNO for sure and it can be just made out in person
Sorry if the pics as blurry they look clear on my phone
No pics
