STM32F429 Discovery Micro Franework USB Driver

I wonder if I could get some advice. I'm trying the Discovery board with the .NET MF package. I've programmed the board OK (it shows the Discovery welcome message on the LCD), installed the USB driver (after turning off signature enforcement).

The driver shows fine in the device manager as shown in the manual but Visual Studio 2012 (Premium) does not show it in the USB Device list for deployment. Is there a package that I need to run for VS2012 to let is know how to talk to the USB driver? I've tried all the usual reboots, admin mode for VS2012, USB 2 and USB ports, etc.

Environment is Windows 8.1 Pro on a Gigabyte Haswell laptop.

Thanks for any help.

Hi.

This is not the first time this issue is submitted here: it seems due to a bug related to ST-Link USB driver. Try to use external power supply instead of using ST-Link USB port for that purpose.

Cheers,

Lorenzo

Thanks. I did search here first but could not find anything. Surely ST could update the firmware tools MF document. Any advice on how to get them to do that?
