The above is the created code from the NI-VISA Driver Wizard (filename IceStick_xp.inf). I was initially following this tutorial (https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA03q000000x1qzCAA&l=en-US) to create a driver for my IceStick ICE40HX1K-STICK-EVN FPGA as a means to be able to send signals to it. However at Figure 7 I wasn't able to select "install the generated files on this computer", as seen below. 

So I followed the suggestion below the "Install Options" title and followed this tutorial (https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA03q000000YH1PCAW&l=en-US). However I am unable to get past the first step as I receive the error message below. The command I have been inputting into command prompt is:   

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86>Inf2Cat.exe /driver:"C:\Users\Filip Karisik\Documents\National Instruments\NI-VISA" /os:10_X64

Error received in command prompt: 22.9.10: icestick_xp.inf in [niviusbk_device_copyfiles_inf] is missing from [SourceDisksFiles] section in \icestick_xp.inf; driver may not sign correctly until this is resolved.

Could somebody please provide any input into this as this is really not my area of expertise, but is a critical component of a school project I am working on. 

Cheers.

I'm no expert in this area, either - but maybe if you could tell us what you are trying to do with it, we could even figure out if you actually need a VISA driver for this thing or not.  🙂

Hi Bill, 

I will be using a Tektronix oscilloscope to gather data and pass onto labview (for which I believe LabView has drivers already). Based on some calculations that labview will do from the oscilloscope data it will have to pass an appropriate signal to my FPGA (http://www.latticesemi.com/icestick) (e.g. - a number ranging from 1-20) and the FPGA will then do some appropriate demultiplexing. In having said that, is there a better solution to what I was attempting above in order to pass data to an FPGA from labview. 

Cheers.

Hi FilDoe, 

Have you looked at the KnowledgeBase article the Installation Options dialog box directs you to? I have copied the link below, maybe it would be helpful. 

Generating and Installing a Signed *.inf File for Use with NI-VISA and the Driver Development Wizard on Windows 8 or Later

Getting digital signature procedure is very much tough i think.I did one short method. I am not sure whether it is correct, but works.

Disable windows 8/10 digital signature enforcement

Turns out after some serious time wasted that my FPGA has a FTDI chip on it which had an already written driver for serial comms. Thanks for the contributions anywhom.

While this probably goes in the "lessons learned" folder, this wasn't really wasted time if indeed it was a lesson learned.  Besides, I bet you have a better understanding of how everything works now.  🙂
