Hi.
I have already reached out to Analog on this issue but didn't get any timeline for when I would be addressed.
We are a long-time developer of the Thermochron data loggers using 1-wire, with more than 20+ years of experience with these devices.
Recently, a customer had issues installing our graphing analysis software on 2 Samsung laptops.
On investigation we found that the 1-wire driver could not be loaded by the system (was running Win11 Pro)
The customer had 2 new identical Samsung Laptops, both machines had the same problem.
I remoted into the machine and after a little head rubbing, noticed it was an ARM64 (Snapdragon X Elite) processor.
Now, the 1-wire driver has not been updated since 2009. So there's no chance for the driver to work, it probably needs to be re-compiled using the ARM processor resources.
The customers machines are Galaxy Book4 Edge, and the system info from that machine is in the image below.
I have looked at HP and DELL both are offering ARM64-PC running Windows 11 now. They give significantly improved battery life compared to Intel x64.
Looking around, there is an expectation that ARM64 will take 50% of the Laptop market within 5 years. (maybe?)
So, does anyone know if Analog are updating the USB driver? or are they happy to let this production line disappear into the oblivion?
