NotImplementedError: Operation not supported or unimplemented on this platform

Hi

I run the pyusb(1.2.1 version) library on windows 10, the python version is 3.8.0, there got an error in function "ctrl_transfer()", my code is quite simple, via serial to transfer the address to the register via that function,

import time
import usb.core
import usb.util

#---------------------wIndex bit format------------------------#
#bit 7      6       5       4       3       2       1       0
#    1      1       1       1       GPIO.3  GPIO.2  GPIO.1  GPIO.0


#

PID = 0xea60
VID = 0x10c4

dev = usb.core.find(idVendor=VID, idProduct=PID)
if not dev:
        print("CP2104 was not found!")
        exit(1)
print("Yeeha! Found CP2104")

reqType = 0x41
bReq = 0xFF
wVal = 0x37E1

while True:

        wIndex = 0xffff
        print("toggling On")
        dev.ctrl_transfer(reqType, bReq, wVal, wIndex, [])
        time.sleep(1)
        print("toggling Off")
        wIndex = 0x00ff
        dev.ctrl_transfer(reqType, bReq, wVal, wIndex, [])
        time.sleep(1)

then I got the error as below:

Yeeha! Found CP2104
toggling On

    raise NotImplementedError(_strerror(ret))
NotImplementedError: Operation not supported or unimplemented on this platform

It can find my port, but the function 'ctrl_transfer' look like does not support Windows, please help.

Best regards

The error message, the fact that it's coming from libusb_open, and that you're dealing with a CP21xx device, suggest that your issue is caused by the need to install a libusb-compatible driver.

This was helpful for me although the SpyderPrint had its own USB driver and replacing using Zadig with a standard Windows made the Spyder application fail although my code started to work. I think I might have to have a custom driver to work with the Spyder version if I wanted both applications to work.
