    Hi Clive,

    I've searched the project page for any info where to grab the working driver for vcp. No luck. Would you mind sending it to kelnerrr at gmail.com?

    Thanks,

    I've emailed you, but for general consumption these are the most recent VCP drivers I'm aware of.

    Going to confirm from my own testing that the last link, which contains the v1.3.1 drivers for x64 works in Win 7 against a VCP/CDC example built from the USB FW library which I have ported.

    Hello,

    it looks like ST has made major changes on the website and removed all the USB firmware and VCP drivers. Only 3rd party firware is left available.

    Does anybody have the latest VCP drivers?

    Thanks!
