Did you try to run it after you clicked that one last tab? Check your Program files for <FriendlyArm> HTH
thanks for the reply ..yep i have solved the matter..by searching for the driver (after plugging in the USB cable to my PC) and not clicking the .exe directly.silly me.
I have executed the "FriendlyARM USB Download Driver Setup.exe" it starts installing but the text on the pop up box is weird.Cant read except some words in english.its mostly '?'marks.and finally it gets stuck at a pop- up dialogue box..where i have option to click on one tab only. I have checked the folder in program files -> friendly arm . It was empty. I have windows xp. Please help me to interface through usb.
You can also install the driver by hand, if you connect the board with the PC and start from NOR. Then Windows asks for the driver.
Hi Tom, I tried as you said. It installed the driver and in the device manager tab (got by right clicking my computer-> properties ->hardware-> device manager) in the Universal Serial Bus controllers,Friendly arm usb driver was listed . But in the My Computer window the device was not detected.(no icon representing arm usb was not displayed).
The device will not appear under "My Computer" - its no usb storage driver. Its only a usb driver that is used by DNW to communicate with the board.
Hi Tom, It really helped. In the DNW application the USB:OK status appeared. I tried to transfer file in the NOR flash mode. It was a simple .png file.It was struck in the same position without any progress. I have set the address to 0x30000000. I doubt whether the files can be transfered only in Nand flash. Please make me clear.
hi Tom or any body, Please add this doubt along with my previous post. In nand flash boot mode the DNW application theUSB:OK is not found . USB:X only is found. Please help me.
The mini2440 can only communicate with DNW in NOR mode... Read this manual: http://www.friendlyarm.net/dl.php?file=download.pdf
Thanks george. I didn't worked it out since i'm away from work now. But I believe it will work because i had progress with the replies in this forum.
Hi any body, I have downloaded an application with picture images used in that application. The total size is nearly 5-6Mb. I downloaded the files one by one. At sometimes the DNW terminal displayed <ERROR> full of the display. Then I closed the terminal,power off the board and started the transfer from first step and tried transfering the same file. Now that file transfered successfully. After downloading all the files now i powered on the board with NAND flash mode. Here comes the problem. The board is not booting up. I doubt that the file size is too large and made hang to load the os in the board.If it is so what is the remedy. If not what is the problem and remedy. I have communicated through hyperterminal but no use. Please help me.
Any body Please help me. include the post before this i posted. I used only the 'a' option in the bios-menu for downloading an application which has some picture images. Now i reinstalled the kernel,supervivi boot loader and also root image after formatting. Now the OS is loading. But i am in confusion how to download an user application as i faced the problem stated in the previous post. Please help me.
I have done a mistake. I didn't compile the application to arm-linux-gcc. Is this the cause?
Please anybody help me considering the problem stated in the above mentioned 3 posts of mine.
yes u have to compile ur application using the cross toolchain.otherwise by default it gets compiled for ur host architecture.u can run the application on ur target board using TFTP or simply by copying it to a mmc card and pasting it at some location in ur target board. and ./ur-application name.

DNW is a windows only application. To upload files to vivi in linux, use the usb-push app avaliable from the download page http://www.friendlyarm.net/dl.php?file=usbpush.tar.gz
Hi guys, I have a vista on my computer and i have a same problem as stated above by Ayyap. "I have executed the "FriendlyARM USB Download Driver Setup.exe" it starts installing but the text on the pop up box is weird.Cant read except some words in english.its mostly '?'marks.and finally it gets stuck at a pop- up dialogue box..where i have option to click on one tab only." I tried to boot up the mini2440 board (+ 3.5 lcd) in the NOR mode but vista windows didn;t prompt me for the usb driver. Moreover the lcd is also blank. Although in NAND mode the wince image works fine but couldn't install the usb driver or can't run the DNW application or can't connect to the board from my PC. I will highly appreciate for any help from anyone thanks a lot Nav

Hi janani, If you are using Win 7 (64-bit) version, you could take a look at this post: http://www.friendlyarm.net/forum/topic/261 Install the 64-bit USB driver and you should be good to go. Hope that helps. Cheers, Gautam Ghate
Hello 1. I am working on linux side how can i work dnw_linux for ok6410 . 2. I want to know which is the specfic USB DRIVER FOR DNW_LINUX and how it works.
@dnall416: 1. The DNW utility works *only* on Windows not Linux. It simply combines the functions of UART and USB communication with the board in a single window. Additionally, it has menu options for downloading files over USB for the bootloader such as Supervivi. 2. You can use the Linux minicom program for serial communication in one terminal window. Open another terminal window and use the USBPush utility to download files for the bootloader separately. The ZIP file on the Download page link at "USB-Push / Boot-USB Download Tool (Linux)" contains a small README file explaining how to do this. Cheers! Gautam
