Having problem with Windows GPIO driver

mh_mansouri

I am having problem with windows GPIO driver. I have recently purchased an UP2 board with a BIOS version of 2.18.1263. After installing windows 10 and following drivers installation steps (1 to 6), I have downloaded "SDK for UP_Win10 _1_2017113.zip" from this post and this link, in which I found "Hi-Safe Driver" and "SDK" folders. fter installing the driver, I headed on using the sample projects, extracted and opened "UP-CHT01_WIN_DIO_CS". By solving some initial problem of DLL importing with MSVS2015 (e.g. adding " CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl" at the end of the line), the program ran and showed me the error of "Hardware not ready. Please check BIOS setting" that followed by a gray form, those depicted in pictures 01 and 02. I have changed the BIOS setting as shown in pictures BIOS-01 to BIOS-07 and ran the program but the same error message appeared!

It seems like a error with driver, please click on the following links to download the Hi-Safe package file for UP^2, and reinstall the aaeonFrameworkSetup.msi on your OS.
Hi-Safe for UP-APL01_20170913.zip
Note: please remove the installation aaeonFramework first

Thanks for the reply!
Now the program works OK.
With the file I have not seen any API for the SPI. Searching the forum I have found a post in which you said SPI APIs were not developed yet. Regarding the undeniable need of SPI for handling many devices, it would be great if update the users with a time that those APIs will be ready.

Yes, and we expect to release more API in the future. For now, the development jobs working for the SPI are in progress, please wait for the update patiently
