Good Afternoon!

I'm curious if there is any chance we could see drivers for the FlashScanV2 that are compatible with ARM based systems? With the release of the Snapdragon X series and the Apple M series processors, the ARM architecture is becoming more mainstream.

I found that FTDI has released ARM drivers for VCP and 2xxx series chips.

I did my best and edited the inf files from the ARM driver package adding references to the custom vendor and product ID's of my FlashScan v2. I then built cat files for both of the inf files, and was able to get Windows 11 on ARM to at least recognize the device and install the generic ARM drivers. Without modification to the DLL's, I assume that's where the buck stops since all the EFILive software fails to recognize the FlashScan, even when the device manager "does".

Thank you, and happy Holidays!

Additionally, the tuning functionality of the v8 software seems to work well when installed on a machine running Windows 11 for ARM. I am able to access and modify all the expected tables on my cousin's truck's file. Just can't "save-as" for his autocal, and other functions due to the SW not picking up the V2.
