I am new in this forum and I ask my question here, as I am not a licensed OM and as such, I cannot request in the OpenGD77 forum.
There are lots of information, how to reprogram the RT3s with OpenGD77 firmware inclusive YouTube videos. But I had no success, even following precisely each step. I am using a laptop, which (of course) does not have a hardware serial out. On this I am running Windows 7 professional. In the device manager, I cannot see any Comport. After having installed the original STM DFU driver successfully, I could access my RT3s by the original Retevis CPS software and create backups of my CPS and of the calibration data (as recommended).
After this, I have installed the OpenGD77 CPS installer, which also did install the USB UART serial driver successfully. I could see the success message in a terminal window, which popped up and then could be closed.
The OpenGD77 manual tells, that in the Windows device manager, there will appear the necessary comport, as soon as I connect the radio with the computer and power it on. But this does not happen. The only thing, that happens, is that the USB DFU device will appear in the windows device manager, as soon as the radio is connected and powered on.
Perhaps it is of interest, that I can successfully connect a Digirig Modem and a serial port / comport with UART via USB shows up in the Windows device manager immediately after I connect the Digirig.
At this point I am stuck completely. I searched the OpenGD77 forum very intensively, but I found several requests there with the same problem. But the solutions, which were propagated there, did not lead to success in my case. I also have searched this forum here and did not find a solution for me either.
I would be very happy, if someone here can give me the relevant hints, to get rid of this comport problem!
