Yun - Unknown Device

Official Hardware Classic Yún
1

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post and I'm very new to Arduino itself. I am running Windows 7 64-bit on my computer and it wouldn't recognize Yun when I plug it in. I had no such issue while connecting Mega. It shows Yun as an unknown device of "Standard USB Host Controller" type, not as one of the Ports. When I try updating the driver, I get the following message (see the attached picture also):

The best driver software for your device is already installed

Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with the device driver but for some reason Windows doesn't recognize it as an Arduino board and doesn't assign it a COM port. Has anyone encountered this problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated as I'm stuck at this point.
Thank you.

We had the same problem. No reset restored the Arduino to a functioning state.
Eventually we discovered the problem:

void(* resetFunc) (void) = 0;

Do you use the same function?
If so try to upload an empty sketch via WIFI:

  • Connect to the WLAN of the Yun
  • Select the Yun under the port section of the IDE
