Hi Alessio, if I remember correctly you need the Aries SPI Fly package loaded. In Plain PLC4X we use ServiceLoader to discover drivers. If you have nothing like Aries SPI Fly which mediates and "immitates" the ServiceLoader then you dont get a wiring between the DriverManager and the driver. But I don’t checked the lastst implementation to be honest.
Perhaps @Robinet, Etienne can help?
