There have been a lot of issues lately due to the way that Micro$oft mis-implements the usb spec. (if it says its a cdu/dfu/... and acts like one load your driver and work; you're done). In the arduino world this was resolved by the teams insistence on using a closed source proprietary chip which charged them money (the ftdi has been the most expensive part of almost any arduino board using it) to maintain drivers that could get along with the geniuses in redmond. There is an improved set of documents for bringing up the maple on Microsoft but it hasn't made it into the released documents yet. In the mean time rather than making things better windows 8 is tightening down on its drivers fiasco by extorting money from developers for driver "signing". I only hope that apple doesn't follow suit. </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=9672#post-21230 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 10:28:37 +0000 StephenFromNYC 21230@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>Hello @bart_dood,</p> <p>Welcome to the world of LeafLabs boards.</p> <p>I am glad you stuck with it and managed to get your Maple board to work.</p> <p>I occasionally like to vent, but I find helping others is equally satisfying.</p> <p>Please refer to the "Guidelines for Posting" sticky. We know you are using Win 7 64-bit, but we do not know which software (eg. IDE version) you are using or which Maple board (eg. revision) you have.</p> <p>Details describing what you tried are important. For example, the ability of your Maple board to enter perpetual bootloader mode should be OS independent.
