Suuntolink - USB Drivers doesn't work

You could try installing the ftdi driver from here:

Get the ones for D2XX. Do not download the drivers for D3XX, the won’t work.

@zanxion thanks for the idea, but this is not a driver problem. I’ve already checked with external serial software, and verified the signals on the cable’s end.

@HA5MI Can you post a screenshot of Driver page in Windows Device Manager’s device properties dialog? To confirm which exact driver it’s using.

You could also click “Send logs to Suunto” in SuuntoLink and send me the log ID, that may give some information about the problem.

@zanxion As far as I know, standard FTDI driver doesn’t work with Suunto devices in Windows, that’s why DM5 and SuuntoLink include a Suunto specific driver.

@Raimo-Järvi sure!

I click on send log, and got failed to send diagnostic logs error
my email is tata81@gmail.com was entered to the input field.

@Raimo-Järvi i was purged all drivers from my windows, and let DM5 install it’s own driver.

Hi there, finally i have the solution! Somehow, the cable was defective. I visited an instructor near me, who has a D6i novo. We tried every possible connection with the 2 computer, 2 cable, and 2 laptops, and turned out the only faulty item is my cable. Just ordered a replacement, and problem solved (hopefully).

Updating the thread as I’ve encountered another issue.

Deactivation of Core Isolation / Memory Integrity (suggested by Raimo Järvi) is still working:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/device-protection-in-windows-security-afa11526-de57-b1c5-599f-3a4c6a61c5e2

However, Uninstalling the drivers simply within Windows 11 is no longer enough to activate the Memory Integrity back.

This linked helped me do it:
https://www.minitool.com/news/ftdibus-sys.html

Steps to do it:

Go into Windows Security, Try to activate the memory integrity, when that fails click on the “details” option available to you. You will find the driver causing problem.
In my case it was the FTDI bus driver with “OEM61.inf”
Open Command Prompt as Administrator and type the 2 following commands

dism /online /get-drivers /format:table

pnputil /delete-driver oem61.inf /uninstall /force

(make sure to replace the oem61.inf if needed, you will have the full list of drivers after the 1st command)

Uninstalling properly this driver allowed me to Activate again the Memory Integrity.
