On Windows you'll need to install a make-shift CDC driver for the GridSeed ASICs. This is basically an unsigned, hand-crafted INF file that allows Windows to recognize the device properly.

Note that, depending on the version of Windows, you'll need to Google steps that let you install unsigned drivers.

would that be the same as this? http://www.st.com/web/en/catalog/tools/PF257938

No, they are not the same.
Could you provide a little more detail, please?  I'm uncertain what to do with this INF file, as I'm assuming from your post I actually need the drivers from elsewhere but am not sure where to obtain them.  I presume I need the INF file to install the drivers.  I have the official (non-zadig) drivers installed (noted above) but you remarked they are not the same.  Any clarification you could offer would be much appreciated Smiley
