Tinkertilter Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 the DFU drivers live inside the installation folder in PROGRAM FILES/DFUSE. Simply update the drivers of the STM32 from within Device manager, find the folder I mentioned above and be done. Just putting this out there so you do not have to struggle like myself for 2 days, reading forums with incomplete instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then hold the DFU button and press/release the reset button to get into DFU mode to upload the firmware using the DFU utility. Process is described under 1.2 here https://pin2dmd.com/installation/ Where is the DFU button and reset button I see one white button on a microprocessor where the USB comes in is this it?? or is this another board. Is there a reset button and DFU button or are you talking about the same thing?? @lucky1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlespinball Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 @lucky1 Ok I am looking for the driver pinDMD3.inf cant find it anywhere. Any idea where I could get this driver?? Also is there any way to use pinDMDIgImg.exe to send an animated gif or vide from the command line. I know you can send a single image with dmdext but I am wondering if there is also another way to do it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darden78 Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 i heard a friend of mine had problems with dfuse and windows11, taking a look on the net i found someone who used the stm32 cube programmer and used the bin file instead of the dfu one, is it possible? does it work?

darden78 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 i confirm, it works. on the evo boards the firmware can be uploaded with st cube programmer using the .bin file. on windows11 the dfuse demo doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it running on Win11 but if you have installed the cube programmer it might be that you have overwritten the dfuse drivers with the cube drivers.

TheDaringDirk Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) I finished assembling one of my EVO boards and am working on getting the firmware loaded, but have a few issues. I am able to put the board into DFU mode and see it in Dfuse. Since I am not using a Devebox board I assume I dont need to worry about any jumpers? I am able to select the firmware and let it update. I do get a waring since its in DFU mode it cant make sure the file is compatible. It finishes updating then I power cycle and get nothing no display. I have checked all the components and everything looks good other than the 5v it seems low at 4.75. Bat60 is measuring 3.01 on the output but 3.3 on the in I have read that changing that out to a OR might help. Any help would be appreciated. Also I am using a STM32F427VIT6 from Digikey.

Common error with DFUSE is to use the Upgrade or Verify Option instead of the Upload Action, which leads to the original file beeing overwritten with a empty file. Please redownload the firmware and try the DFU pin2dmd.exe Device - Upload function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was unable to get pin2dmd to see the display originally thats why I switched to DFUSE and per the instructions is does say to use the upgrade option not the upload is that an error in the instructions? I am good to go now though I had to switch what windows drivers were being loaded when the display is plugged in and pin2dmd was able to see it and upload just fine. Thanks again for the help!
