Driver Installation Error #1

Open botletics opened 7 years ago

botletics commented 7 years ago

Hi there, I am using Windows 10 and SIM5320A (the US version of the FONA 3G) and I downloaded the files here and put them on my desktop in one folder. When I first open device manager it looks like this:

I then right click and say "Update Driver" and browse manually to the folder where these files are. After trying to install it gives me this error:

Before I tried to install the drivers I disabled secure boot and used the "Test Signing" mode via the command prompt, and this mode was successfully enabled.

Am I doing this wrong?

By the way there is no need to use this library. SIMCOM has Win 10 drivers:

The sign_driver_8.1 apparently no longer works on Windows 10. It gives an error and says "Driver is not intended for this platform."

Any leads on updated drivers?

Please take a look at this and see if the file named "SIMCOM_64bit_usb_driver.rar" is relevant.

I'm using the Fona 3G board from Adafruit, which has a SIM5320 on it, and sign_diver_8.1.rar is still working for me on Windows 10 Pro, OS build 19043.1288. Inside the rar file there's the sign_driver/WIN_64bit_driver directory. I extracted out the WIN_64bit_driver directory and then went into Device Manager where my SIM5320 was showing up as a bunch of devices under "Other Devices", with yellow triangles on their icons. I right clicked on each one of those devices and went to "Update Drivers">"Browse my computer for drivers" and then clicked "browse" and selected the WIN_64bit_driver directory itself (not something inside the directory). I repeated this for each of the devices my SIM5320 was appearing as in Device manager. A few of those devices now show up as COM ports. One of them has "AT" in its name. That's the one I can connect to through serial via Putty to send AT commands to the device.

If you use archive.org and search the website to which he refers in his 10/16/2019 post, you can find the "SIMCOM_64bit_usb_driver.rar" file. The archive is on 1/21/2021.

Works great
