Flashing Slaesh's CC2652RB on a Windows PC

Hi All,

Has anyone tried to flash Shaesh’s CC2652RB on a Windows PC? I am following the instructions and they are identical to the instructions for the Electrolama’s CC2652R zzh stick.

The thing is, when I connect the CC2652RB to the USB, under device manager, I get the device name, the long name “slae.sh cc2652rb stick - slaesh’s iot…” and an exclamation mark. So I am unable to run the python script to flash as there is no COM port.

When I connect Electrolama’s CC2652R zzh stick I get the usual CH340 and the associated COM port.

The only other option I have is to install Linux in dual boot and try that but it is just weird. Am I missing a device driver or something? I can’t find anything on the internet regarding this. I also pinged Slaesh via Telegram but no answer so far from him.

No experience with the zzh stick but I had to install new drivers for the Slaesh’s stick for win10.

Where do I get the drivers from?

Just did an advanced windows update while the stick was attache tot the USB.

Must admit that the easy way is to connect it to rpi or other linux system.

Did that on Windows but didn’t help. But of course, my rpi can help !!! :smiley: Why didn’t I think of that before! Thank you!

You clearly didn’t read the issue description :grin:

You said you weren’t aware your rpi could be used. Slaesh’s instructions provide an example for Linux (what runs on your rpi). Maybe you didn’t read them.

Finally found something in the reviews on tindie…

looks like the below Windows drivers are needed

I have not tried it yet but will give it a go. Would be good to put this in the flashing guide. I will try to get hold of Shaesh but he is known to not respond, judging by the comments.

Just tried it and indeed this is the driver needed for Windows
