Hi Community

I am using Acer Spin 7 laptop which has Qualcomm snapdragon 8CX gen2 family processor running WIN11 on it.

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 (WindowsKernelModeDriver10.0) on windows 10 machine 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor for my ARM64 driver development.

I started with KmdfHelloWorld sample built with ARM64 configuration.

Below are the issues I am facing deploying driver on to Acer Spin7

Issue 1

When I try to run remote debugging below error is thrown by VS

"The driver processor architecture (ARM64) does not match the processor architecture of the target computer (X64). The processor architecture of the driver and the computer must match."

Issue 2
When I try to install WDK for arm on Acer laptop it also throws processor mismatch error.

Issue 3

When I copy the driver package onto Acer and try to install using devcon.exe, it shows devcon.exe failed error.

My queries:-

  1. Why I unable to install ARM64 wdk on ARM64 processor based device?
  2. Why arm64 driver package is not getting installed or deployed onto arm based machine?

Please guide me on this?

Best
Lakshmi

    I am not sure but you may down the AMD Chipset driver and recheck the issue.
