I just got my Galileo Gen2 board today and I'm having problems installing the Gadget Serial v4.2 Driver as detailed in the Gettting Started Instructions: Galileo Getting Started - Windows
I searched here on the forum and I tried just about everything in similar posts so I wanted to file my own. Sorry if I missed the key one that also solves my problem.
I did all the obvious thing like rebooting the board and PC. I don't have any kind of sd card in the board. This board is right out of the box.
After installing the downloaded Arduino software (arduino-windows-1.0.4.7z), I start it up (Step 2 - Download Galileo Arduino IDE in the Gettting Started).
As detailed in Step 3, I open Device Manager but I don't see an "Others" category where the Gadge Serial V4.2 driver is supposed to be. I make sure the board is connected and powered up. I tried two different USB cables and I tried a USB on the front and back of the PC (Dell Optiplex 980).
Per one of the other issues on the forum, I tried to manual install the driver by going to C:\arduino-1.5.3-Intel.1.0.4\hardware\arduino\x86\tools and right-mouse clicking on the linux-cdc-acm.inf file and selecting "Install" from the menu. Doesn't appear this driver supports this type of installation:
If I go back to the Device Manager and do a "Scan for Hardware Changes", it has a "PCI Serial Port" listed in the Others category.
This doesn't seem to be associated with the Galileo Board since I see this if I unplug the USB cable from the PC and do the scan again.
Not sure how to proceed at this point and would appreciate any pointers.
