Using GreatFET on windows

Python

• Download the latest version of python3 here
• Be sure to check the Add Python x.x to PATH box in the bottom left corner
• Open a command prompt window and type python -V to verify that the version of python you downloaded has been installed correctly

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.

GreatFET

• Open a new command prompt (close any existing one if you have one open) and enter pip install greatfet

Note: if you’re reading this before the software release, you may need to install the host tools from source. Instructions on how to do so can be found here

• The greatfet host tools should now be installed properly, enter the command gf info to verify that a GreatFET One board is found
• TODO: flashing firmware on Windows
• The rest of the Getting Started Guide can be followed to blink an LED on your GreatFET
