Prolific PL2303 driver

I am having irql_not_less_or_equal problem in my Pc

That’s why I don’t use the Prolific adaptor on my PC.

You could try a later driver, but if your hardware isn’t genuine…

We do need the actual DMP file as it contains the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible.
You may be able to get the DMP files without crashing by booting into safe mode (F8) with networking.
If you are overclocking stop. (chances are if you dont know if you are, you are not)a
To enable us to assist you with your computer’s BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your “\Windows\Minidump” folder. We need at least 2 DMP FILES to diagnose and confirm

To ensure minidumps are enabled:

• Go to Start, in the Search Box type: sysdm.cpl, press Enter.
• Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings… button.
• Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked.
• Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies).
• Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as systemroot\Minidump.
• OK your way out.
• Reboot if changes have been made.

Please also run MSinfo32 and upload the output as well.
To run MSinfo32 please go to start>run>MSinfo32
Go to “file” “save” and upload the saved file with the DMPS, System specs are extremely useful so please include whatever you know.

Which part? That’s just a site listing a bunch of (common sense) things to try to track down the source of the error (though I ought to point out that if a fragmented drive is giving you BSODs, you have way more serious problems – fragments should make your machine slow down, not die).

For my case, the fix was really really easy.
Unplug the (clone) PL2303 serial port.
Plug it into RISC OS.
Works fine on RISC OS. PC no longer crashy. It was without a doubt the driver…

at the Wakefield Show last year someone asked us whether we could support a GPS device that used serial USB in order to feed current location information to RiscOSM for maps. It would be excellent to be able to support this.

I have a Raspberry Pi, model A+ 256Mbytes, using a 800×480 screen (not a touch screen as no user input is required), with a GPS Hat and an application ‘SatNav’ [registration pending] that receives the GPS data and transmits it to RiscOSM, showing in its icon bar icon the heading and grid reference. It runs off a battery (which lasts between 6 and 10 hours, the white wire is just keeping the battery float-charged).

I have legal access to most of the MS output at work but none of it runs on my ARM kit.

Win10 IOT runs on the meatier Pis. ;-)

Dave (or whoever) feel free to delete this along with the preceding item

I’m sure he’d much rather delete the person posting. Though, on the other hand, it isn’t twenty screenfuls of 헛소리는한국어로작성.

Chris – what sort of screen is that? It looks from the photo that it takes HDMI directly, which would be a lot simpler to use than these SPI devices… That looks like a USB plug below the HDMI connector. Does it run off 5V? That would make things really easy.

BTW, if you’re trickle charging the battery, is it some sort of lead acid rigged to a 5V regulator?

I have a nice meaty “power bank” here that can output 2A on one port and 1A on the other. Problem is, with it being a Lithium-something battery pack, its internal voltage is 3.7V. Charging from USB and outputting to USB requires level conversion to/from 5V. But unfortunately it can only do one thing at a time, not both.

With the prevalence of these little 5V processor boards, I’m surprised nobody has thought of commercialising inexpensive UPS-style power backup devices, that run off the mains normally but switch to battery if the power fails.

It is the Adafruit 5" display which is available with and without a capacitive touch screen. The touch screen presents itself as an absolute coordinate USB mouse, which RISC OS can handle, simply by connecting the micro USB port on the display [which also provides its 5V power supply] to a socket on the computer. Display is via HDMI but the display has not got scaling so the computer output must match the 800×480 (it does have EDID).

I’m not sure having the power cable connected reduces the rate of discharge but the jury is still out on that.

There are some. I use this and a larger version: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/power-banks/7757504/

The Adafruit PowerBoost 1000 Charger board can be used this way, but is costly. So I have made the equivalent using cheap chinese boards, except that the reliability is probably much poorer. ;-)

Note that you need a 30-Jun-2015 or newer ROM; RC14 won’t cut it.
