I'm trying to install USB drivers for Arduino 101 board that I just received using the latest IDE package v1.8.0, but none of the INF files contain the matching VID/PID identifiers. Can someone suggest a version of the IDE that had installable drivers for this particular device? Or anywhere else where I can find the appropriate driver?
On Windows 8, the device shows up in the device manager under the "Other devices" group as "ARDUINO 101" and the information in the device properties shows the following:
Device USB\VID_8087&PID_0AB6\AE6642EK619025Q was configured.
Driver Name: null
Class Guid: {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
Driver Date:
Driver Version:
Driver Provider:
Driver Section:
Driver Rank: 0x0
Matching Device Id:
Outranked Drivers:
Device Updated: false
Hi,
you first need to install the Curie boards package from Board Manager to get the 101 drivers installed automatically.
Yeah, I realized the board package requirement after initially posting this request, but just installing the board package didn't seem to work the first time. To get it to work I had to change from v1.0.7 board package to 1.0.6. Then when I went back to 1.0.7 it appears to have retained the driver from 1.0.6. And, by the way, this was all on a Windows 8.1 machine. Perhaps I didn't have the device attached during the initial install, but I'm pretty sure I did.
Oh, and the place I had started at that mentioned drivers was @ https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Howto. Seems like this page conflicts with what I eventually found on the URL @ Edge, IoT & 5G Development. Not sure if that's an Intel problem, but it might be in your best interest to speak with the owner of the former URL to get the HowTo page beefed up a bit. Just my 2 cents worth.
The HowTo page is there for historical reasons (it reads "This page is obsolete. You should instead see the Windows Howto or the Mac OS X howto (both in the Arduino guide)." ).
The Arduino ecosystem has evolved a lot since that page was written, so always trust the newest info available.
If you reached that page navigating the website (and not via a search engine) let me know so we can remove the links.
Thanks!
