💡 Are you getting the following error when trying to upload?

avrdude: jtag3_open_common(): Did not find any device matching VID 0x03eb and PID list: 0x2145

avrdude done. Thank you.

If so, keep reading!

By default, Microchip Studio installs HID Input Device drivers for the Xplained Mini.

These drivers are incompatible with avrdude (used by PlatformIO), which uses libusb to communicate with the Xplained Mini instead.

This guide details the process of using Zadig to replace the HID drivers.

Warning
This process will result in Microchip Studio no longer recognising the Xplained Mini as a connected device, as we have replaced its Xplained Mini drivers.

To revert these changes and restore Microchip Studio functionality, follow the steps detailed in Reverting Driver Changes.

1. Install Zadig

2. Click Options > List All Devices

3. Select mEDBG CMSIS-DAP (Interface 0)

4. Change the driver to libusbK or libusb-win32

5. Click Replace Driver

6. Try to upload with PlatformIO again

Reverting Driver Changes

To restore the original HID Input Device driver, follow the below steps.

1. Open Device Manager (Win + x > m)

2. Expand libusbK USB Devices

   

3. Right click mEDGB CMSIS-DAP (Interface 0)

4. Click Update driver

5. Click Browse my computer for drivers

   

6. Search for drivers under C:\Windows\INF (including subfolders)

   

7. Click Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer

8. Click USB Input Device

   

   Note
   Select mEDBG CMSIS-DAP (Interface 0) here to re-configure the drivers for PlatformIO.

9. Click Next

The Xplained Mini should then appear in Microchip Studio, and can be programmed as usual.
