Driver for USB-to-CAN V2 for ARM64

Mike

• April 04, 2024 08:48

I am trying to use USB-to-CAN V2 in Parallels Desktop in MacOS.

Found the beta driver from 2022 in forum, which installs fine.

The issue is no packets are received by canAnalyzer Mini.

Can't send anything as well.

CAN led on USB is flashing as it should ( I have packets sent from device with interval), so it receives correctly. In canAnalyzer adapter windows looks correct as well.

Statistics / Receive Counter is always zero.

Do you have up to date driver I can try?

Thanks,

Mike

  Dear Mike,

  1. Thank you very much for your post.
     
     
  2. Usually you can get the 32bit and 64bit DLLs for VCI V4.NET API from NuGet
     https://www.nuget.org/packages/Ixxat.Vci4.net35.StrongName
     
     
  3. The source code of the VCI4.NET-API is on the github
     https://www.ixxat.com/about-us/news/2022/11/23/ixxat-driver-software-and-sample-programs-available-on-github
     
     
  4. Maybe you can compile the source code of the VCI V4.NET API from the github for 64 bit for ARM?
     https://github.com/hms-networks/ixxat-vci4-dotnet-wrapper
     
     
  5. Here are the VCI V4.NET programming examples
     https://github.com/hms-networks/ixxat-vci4-dotnet-samples
     
     
  6. Could you please register in our online support tool
     https://support.hms-networks.com/hc/en-us
     and create a support request there?
     
     

  Best regards
  Andreas

  For others to know, here is the solution.

  I had to upgrade firmware to the latest version and everything works fine.

  There is one missing thing in drivers - 64 bit .NET driver version. in the folder there is only 32  bit one.

  Can HMS provide 64bit version as well?

  I use that one:

  Thanks Andreas!

  I tried to use source code, but the issue id with vciapi.dll, which is not included in that project.

  The issue wasn’t .NET drivers itself, but the c++ file called by these drivers.

  Regards,

  Mike

  Dear Mike,
  
  The VCI V4 installs the vciapi.dll in the following directory:
  
  32 Bit DLLs on 32 Bit Windows:
  C:\Windows\System32\vciapi.dll
   
  64 Bit DLLs on 64 Bit Windows:
  C:\Windows\System32\vciapi.dll
   
  32 Bit DLLs on 64 Bit Windows:
  C:\Windows\SysWOW64\vciapi.dll
  
  I could successfully find the vciapi.dll in the C:\Windows\System32\vciapi.dll directory on Windows 11 IoT Enterprise running on a Raspberry Pi 4.
  
  Best regards
  Andreas

  Dear Andreas,

  I have these files where it should be. Maybe I have different driver. 

  The error I have caused by:

     at Ixxat.Vci4.VciServerImpl.Initialize()
     at Ixxat.Vci4.VciServerImpl.Instance()

  

   

  Can you send me the link to drivers you are using?

  Thanks,

  Mike

  Dear Mike,
  
  I use the VCI V4.0.987.0 beta for ARM.
  Unfortunately it is not possible to attach the VCI V4 for ARM here, but I can attach it to a support request.
  Could you please register in our online support tool
  https://support.hms-networks.com/hc/en-us
  and create a support request with the description of the .NET exception there?
  
  Best regards
  Andreas

  Hi Andreas,

  I was too busy with other things and that was put aside.

  With Snapdragon laptops now available, when can we expect official ARM64 drivers (not Beta) for USB-to-CAN V2?

  Your competitor already released fully compatible drivers.

  Best regards,

  Mike

  Dear Mike,
  
  We see an increase in the number of use cases for our CAN interfaces on Windows/ARM computers and
  will expand our VCI driver accordingly.
  The release is planned for one of the next updates.
  (Unfortunately I can not let you know yet exactly when)
  Could you please register in the online support tool on our webpage
  https://support.hms-networks.com/hc/en-us
  and create a support request there,
  then we will inform you when it will be available.
  
  Best regards
  Andreas
