Hello,
I have been evaluating the STM32F746 Disco Kit and Audio Weaver 6.18.1 (Running on Windows 10 Pro).
Until recently, I have been successfully installing AWE BSP binary, connecting audio weaver over USB - and building / testing schematic diagrams. In fact - I have been impressed with how smoothly this process worked. Fully explored compiling, downloading, running, tuning - all working well. That was a few weeks back.
I have returned to the the same evaluation platform - prepping for a demo and I walked through the same steps as before - but now I am running into the "Unable to create USB port" error that I see posted elsewhere on these forums.
Recovery Attempts:
- I am using the same USB cables as before -but I have followed advice and tried various other cables (shorter lengths etc.) - same error.
- I have tried numerous erase cycles and tried all three binary images - all three show the green LED flash - but none of them will connect over USB.
- I upgraded to the newest version of Audio Weaver - same error.
- I tried flashing a completely new / out of box STM32F746 Disco kit - same error.
- I uninstalled / reinstalled ST Link utility (at latest version) - same error
- I have tried to have Windows look for drivers ,etc - but it never seems to find the audio / HID device.
- I moved the DISCO board to another Windows machine - just to see if it might be some sort of Windows problem - still no Audio or HID device shows up.
Observations:
- After flashing the board and power cycle - the green LED flashes showing success.
- However now when I plug in the board to USB - the only thing that shows up is a removable storage device - the audio device and HID device that used to show up (when it worked) do not.
- What do I need to do to get this back to a working toolchain?
Thanks.
P.S.
Don't know if this helps - but I plugged into a Linux machine - just to capture the enumeration messages - this is what I get (and do not see HID or USB Audio device showing up)

Hi Ryan,
Thanks for your thorough report - it looks like you've tried most everything discussed on these forums. The fact that the green LED is flashing on the board indicates the AWECore is indeed running on your target, so you've isolated the problem to somewhere in the tuning/communications line.
A common mistake made with these STM32F746 boards is to plug the micro-USB cable into the USB HS port instead of the USB FS port, as described in the user's guide. This would result in exactly the scenario you describe. Can you confirm that you are using the USB FS port (the right one, next to the mini USB slot) for your micro USB connection?
As a sanity check, I've just made sure that the 7.A.0.7 AWE_Server does successfully connect to a STM32F746 target with the binaries included in the s1.5 BSP from our downloads page.

Hi Axel,
Thank you for the quick response. After reading the note - I realized I had only been swapping out the mini USB cable - when I should have replaced the micro USB. Somehow I had mixed in a power-only micro USB cable - and that was causing my problems. Focusing on the wrong thing.
Everything is working now! Thanks so much!

Glad to hear you got it working!

Thank you! I had the same problem. HS instead of FS. Now is working.
