Activate Firmware

  1. The firmware must be activated on the Second PC when the computer is turned on; otherwise, the Main PC will not load the system properly or boot up.
  2. Activation is required everytime Main PC is powering ON.
  3. Make sure your Main PC is powered OFF.
  1. After setting up your desired device in detail, sub-device information, etc. in Ditto, go to the Settings page.
  2. Powering on your Main PC. (immediately proceed to the next step)
  3. After the Main PC is powered on, wait for about 5 seconds, and then click Connect in Ditto Software -> Settings on the Second PC. (Start counting from power on, not after entering the windows).
  4. After a few Retrying to connect notification, a notification will pop up indicating that FGPA Connected if everything is correct.

​
Determine whether the firmware has connected successfully and initialized correctly

Determine if it’s connected properly:
  • Windows will boot quickly, as usual.
  • A device you emulated will appear in your Main PC Device Manager.
Determine if it failed to connect:
  • Windows may get stuck on a black screen and fail to boot.
  • Windows may boot slowly, taking up to 5 minutes to load.
  • In Device Manager, a device labeled USB xHCI Compliant Host Controller will show a ⚠️ yellow exclamation mark.
