I have windows 10 and it won't correctly recognize my gadget II. It keeps showing up as a disk drive, not an I/O device

When I plug in my gadget II windows 10 sees it as a disk drive . I've installed the drivers and can't get it to be recognized correctly.

    How exactly did you install the driver and which driver?

    You should be able to manually install the device driver through device manager from the Program Files\ETC\HighSpeed_Pipeline_Drivers location. If you need assistance with this process, just ask.

    I've installed ETC Nomad 2.5 software. I tried doing the manual driver install that you refer to. When I go into the windows device manager the Gadget is recognized as a disk drive called "FSL FREESCALE MSD USB Device". Windows will not recognize the device drivers in the folder and will not let me pick a driver that is not a disk drive device driver.

    Are you sure that's the gadget? If you unplug the gadget, does the disk drive disappear from list? If it doesn't you are not looking at the right item.

    Can you post here a photo of the entire Hardware Manager List ?

    it is definitely the Gadget. It disappears from the list when I disconnect/unplug. The drive shows up in explorer named as BOOTLOADER with one file on it named READY.TXT

    Here are screenshots of explorer and the entire device manager list

    If it means anything, the Gadget also mounts as a disk when connecting to a mac. Same name BOOTLOADER

    Your Gadget is in bootloader mode and likely needs firmware loaded to continue. This can happen if a firmware update on it gets weird. Copy C:\ETC\nodesbin\14d5.0114_Gadget_II_v1.1.0.9.0.4.S19 to this drive (right click, copy, then right click, paste when inside the drive). Once that is complete, unplug and replug the Gadget.

    Edit: you can also use v1.0.0.9.0.10 if available on your computer instead of 1.1.0


    Let us know how that goes!

    It's likely time to give your local ETC Tech Services office a call. It should recover after a firmware reload. In the US, that would be 800-688-4116 and ask for phone support.

    Sorry we couldn't solve it on the forums!
