hi @all,
its an old thread....i know. but i was running over 1 year later into same problem. so it's still there.
but i can provide a solution:
microsoft changed something in the storage for the driver usbser.sys
this has to be taken into account for the inf file for this device. so i did some changes on the inf file from ti.
C:\ti\ccsv6\ccs_base\emulation\windows\xds2xx_drivers\xds2xx_usb_cmp.inf
