<br\>
Computer Software Requirements
- TeamViewer V11 (http://www.teamviewer.com ) - no license. Install TeamViewer - during setup you need to choose the Personal license installation!
- Idrive Factory Tools 3.6.4
- With Windows 8 -Future Technologies USB Driver for X2 Programming Fixture (http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm)
- Windows 10 successfully identifies and installs the drivers
- Firefox Web browser (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/)
Disabling Driver Signature Enforcement In Windows 8 Permanently
Windows 8 only
Step 1. Open the Windows command promt as “Run as Administrator”.
Step 2. Run “bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS” (without the “”).
Step 3. To finalize the process run “bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON” (without the “”).
Step 4. Reboot and you’re done.
This method it leaves a watermark saying you are in test mode until you disable it again.
WARNING: if the procedure is executed remotely, the reboot should be executed with the fallowing command from Run or cmd.exe:
shutdown -r -f -t 0
to avoid hanging up the restart.
X2 Programming Fixture Setup
<br\><br\>
Computer Connections
- Connect the 12volt Power Supply to the Power Connector
- Connect the USB cable from Programming computer to USB Type B connector
- Connect the USB-to-Ethernet Adapter to the Programming Computer with a Cat5 (Network) Cable
Idrive Camera Connections
- Connect "Idrive Power Cable" to the Device to be programmed
- Connect the "Programming Connector" to the Device to be programmed
- Connect the USB-to-Ethernet Adapter to the Device to be programmed

Turn On the Power switch and leave the programmer on for the batch of boards.(you do not need to turn it off to program the next board)
X2 Programming Fixture Documentation
On X2 programming connector there are 2 communication buses present:
- one bus is PC-to-X2 serial connection (using USB to UART converter)(serial one) is used to communicate(send commands receive messages) with U-boot(bootloader) and/or X2's Linux OS (linux console).
- the second bus is PC-to-X2 direct USB connection (USB OTG port of X2 processor)is used only for initial bootloader NAND IC programming or as system recovery in case the bootloader present in NAND IC is corrupted.
When using Factory tool Auto Install or Install Bootloader features, first operation executed by FT is to erase the old bootloader from NAND.
After erasing old one, if X2 processor is not able to "see" the bootloader present in NAND, it enters the system recovery mode by activating it's USB OTG port for a Processor-to-PC direct connection ;this should be confirmed on PC by enumerating a "HID-compilant vendor-defined device" on Device manager (see picture attached).
NOTE: The "HID-compilant vendor-defined device" will appear only when NAND bootloader is missing or corrupted.
From log messages displayed by your Factorytool, it seems that first step (bootloader erase) was performed and the X2 processor USB OTG connection is rejected by PC (please observe "Device Arrival" , "Device Removal" messages present in the log).
In my opinion this is a PC USB problem , for confirmation you can test a known working fixture (for ex: RMA fixture) on this PC.
The fact that shunting the USB-to-serial converter's port does not provide feedback is also indicating PC USB problems.
The only components "involved" in this connection are:
1. Programmer's USB HUB -this is working because you can see/access the USB-to-UART converters.
2. Cable - if cable is bad no HID-compliant device message will ever appear.
3. X2 Processor - known to previously work.
4. PC station
