MSP430 / Re: MSP430-JTAG-TINY-V2 Window...
Last post by amiller - August 22, 2025, 03:44:10 PM
I am having a similar issue, with a slight variation.  My company's security standards are not allowing me to install an unsigned driver, nor am I able to disable the driver signature enforcement.

Is there any sort of updated Windows11 driver that would allow me to continue to use the MSP430-JTAG-TINY?

do not forget these are all open source projects done for fun in the free time, so they are at the stage which was satisfactory for the author, adding new features may or may not be implemented

You are 100% correct, our people try to squeeze the overall dimension as much as possible and did this for the sake of the lost 0.1" step compatibility, but this board was never intend to go to breadboard anyway so there is no harm?

There are different emulators, not all support everything. Some support storing on the USB, some support storing on the SD card, some don't support storing to external storage.

It is unsafe to use those commands since they permanently disable the driver signature enforcement. Better use the GUI method to disable the "Windows Driver Signature enforcement" temporarily. Search online for "how to disable Windows Driver Signature enforcement Windows 11". It basically is from:

- Open Settings on Windows 11.

- Click on System.

- Click the Recovery tab.

- Click the Restart now button for the "Advanced startup" setting under the "Recovery options" section.

- Click on Troubleshoot.

- Click on Advanced options.

- Click on Startup Settings.

- Click the Restart button.

- Press "F7" or the "7" key to select the Disable driver signature enforcement option.

The drivers are unsigned so same requirements apply to Windows 10 and Windows 11 installations - first temporary disable "driver signature enforcement" and then install the drivers. Disabling the "driver signature enforcement" is kind of tricky, but there are many guides on how it can be done manually. After the driver installation the unit should be listed as "Olimex Tiny v2.00 JTAG for MSP430 (COMX)". If it gets listed differently you haven't pointed to the proper drivers.

Remember to copy-paste the latest dll files to the proper folder of your IDE.

Please also notice that MSP430-JTAG-TINY-V2 is compatible with software tools that have support for MSP430 Debuck Stack version 2 (MSP430.dll v2). Not compatible with newest versions of IAR Embedded Workbench for MSP430 (6.x.x and after) Not compatible with newest versions of Code Composer Studio (6.1.3 and after).

A64 / Re: HDMI: A64 Board not detect...
Last post by LubOlimex - August 18, 2025, 08:47:09 AM
Quite unlikely to be hardware issue since HDMI output gets tested empirically here.

What is the state of the Ethernet/PHY reset jumper between the two boards? Is it the same state?

If the jumper is set the same, then it is probably related to the state of video output set by the script, run olinuxino-display and try DISABLE option and reboot, if it doesn't work better then try all the other HDMI options one by one and see if any of them improves the behavior.

Let us know if the issue persists.

Last post by LubOlimex - August 18, 2025, 08:29:40 AM
This is fine. Performance won't be affected. No need of adding anything just make sure that you use the Li-Po battery connector and double check + and - markings on the board so you don't connect the battery in reverse. The connector is not standard and it is possible to short-circuit the board if you don't ensure + of battery goes to the + connector on the board.

If it works with the original FabGL board it should work with ESP32-SBC-FabGL. For ZX-Spectrum also check this blog post:

Are you sure this is the proper macro for the clock "#define ETH_CLOCK_MODE    ETH_CLOCK_GPIO17_OUT"? I feel like it was ETH_CLK_MODE but maybe they changed it recently.

Maybe check our ESP-IDF 5.3 project for the Ethernet: https://github.com/OLIMEX/ESP32-POE/tree/master/SOFTWARE/ESP-IDF/ESP32_PoE_Ethernet_IDFv5.3
