Hi. I'm trying to use USB serial for debugging. Mbed's firmware is upgraded to the last version; my system is Windows XP with SP3.
I copied a simple USB serial code, compiled it and copied on MSD mbed. Reset and reflashed. With PLUGGED mbed I'm trying to install the serial drivers, according to instructions. All windows are closed, explorer, google, etc.
When I execute mbedWinSerial_16466.exe there is the cursor hourglass for a second, then the screen refreshes. Nothing else. No messages, nor installation. The Serial port is not recognized even if I continue to see the mbed as removable hard drive.
1) What am I doing wrong?
2) If it works, is mbed seen as composite device Virtual Com Port+MSD? or is it necessary to switch it to Virtual Com Port mode doing some magics?
Thank you for any help you can give me
Alessandro
