Hi, I am using an RPi Pico-2 board, which has an RP2350 chip.
I encountered an error while uploading Arduino IDE code to it. I reinstalled and updated its drivers, but later realized that the issue was with my environment variable - PATH. After successfully resolving that, the drivers got disturbed. So, I uninstalled each driver, and now, when I plug in the board, it appears as an "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)" in the Device Manager.
I want to install the correct driver so the board can function properly again. However, when I try updating the driver, Windows says, "The best driver for this device is already installed," and it doesn’t allow me to install it manually. I also tried using Zadig, but when I plug in the board, it only appears as an "Unknown USB Device," and in the current driver section, it shows "None." When I attempt to install "USB Serial (CDC)" or any other driver from Zadig’s list, the installation starts but ultimately fails with the message: "Driver Installation: FAILED (Resource already exists)."
Upon checking the C:\Users\brkac\usb_driver path, I found that the drivers were installed, and the .inf file for CDC was present. However, even when I manually select that folder for driver installation via Device Manager, Windows still says, "The best drivers for this device are already installed."
I then attempted to add the driver manually by selecting "Add Driver" in Device Manager and adding the .inf file. This process was successful, displaying the message: "oem26.inf added, allocated to 0 devices." However, I am unsure how to proceed and restore my RPi Pico-2 board to normal functionality in the Arduino IDE.
I am using Windows 11. Let me know if you need any further details regarding this process.![:|]( "Neutral")
