EDGE serial port not showing with canlib on Windows.

When using canlib drivers versions 5.49 and 5.50 they can mistakingly assign the canlib device driver to the Kvaser EDGE instead of the serial driver, which results in the serial port, inside the container, on Edge devices to be missing. At the moment there is a workaround to change the device driver used by the edge device manually.

  • To change the driver go to Device manager.
  • Once there look for CAN Hardware (Kvaser).
  • If the problem exists there should be a Kvaser Edge device with a warning symbol, right click on it and choose Update driver.
  • Pick Browse my computer for drivers and then Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer.
  • Select USB Serial Device. If there are multiple USB Serial Device options select either one.
  • Then reboot the Edge, it should now be correctly configured as a serial port.
