MSP430-JTAG-TINY-V2 Windows 11 Unsigned Driver

[bcsmmc]

Hello,

Has anyone been able to install the driver in windows ll.  I have followed the old thread https://www.olimex.com/forum/index.php?topic=5283.0

I disabled Secure Boot.  Ran commands:

bcdedit /set nointegritychecks on
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

When I attempt to manually install the driver by have disk option it still says the driver is not signed and will not install it.  What else can I do to override it?

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).

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?

No, there are no signed drivers.

If you don't have authorization for it, ask the system administrator to do it for you.

You have to boot into the Troubleshooting screen, which means you need the bitlocker key and use option 7 to disable driver enforcement.  Not sure about monthly updates, but you have to reinstall after a feature update.

    1. Press the Windows key to launch the Start menu, click on the Power icon, press and hold the Shift key, and then click on Restart to enter the recovery mode in Windows 11.
   
    2. Once the OS enters the recovery environment, click on Troubleshoot.
   
    3. Next, click Advanced options.
   
    4. Select Startup settings from the six options listed here.
   
   
    5. Now, click on the Restart button.
   
    6. If you are asked to enter the BitLocker recovery key, find out what to do. With the feature enabled, Windows may ask you to provide the key to ensure that no one else is accessing the data.
    7. Finally, press the F7 or 7 key to boot Windows with the Driver Signature Enforcement feature disabled.
   
   
Once the system restarts, Driver Signature Enforcement will be disabled in Windows 11. You can now install the desired unsigned driver on your PC. To enable Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows 11, restart the computer.
