Using GreatFET on windows

Python

Git

  • Download the latest version of git for Windows here

Zadig

  • Download the latest version of Zadig here
  • We rely on one of the generic USB drivers for Windows; which often needs a little help to wind up installed and bound to the relevant device. For now, the easiest way to do that is to use the Zadig utility to bind the "libusb-win32" driver to the GreatFET device. There's a generic tutorial here; you'll need to select the GreatFET device and select "libusb-win32" as the driver to bind to.

  • TODO: flashing firmware on Windows
  • The rest of the Getting Started Guide can be followed to blink an LED on your GreatFET
