USB HID device

NTDEV
1

Hi All,

I am developing a USB device. I need to test the basic
functionality with windows. For that I am not
intersted in writing a funtion driver for this device
now. But how I can load the default drivers coming
with windows for this purpose, like HID, storgae etc…
Just changing the USB device class/sub class help me??
Or I just need to create an INF file which supports my
device vendor/product ID. In simple words, how I can
support my USB device in Win 2K without writing a USB
funciton driver.

Thanks in advance
Suja.

Make it belonging to a pre-defined class AND ensure it supports all bus
transactions necessary for this class.

The type of functionality and throughput you want on the device will
determine what usb device class your device should conform to. What
exactly do you want to do with your device?

Hi Doron,

I am developing a USB<==>RS232 converter device.
For this purpose what I have to do the driver side in
windows to show the virtual com ports… A simple
modification in serial drivers help me???

>The type of functionality and throughput you want on

I can’t get you… I think the device class/subclass is
given by USB specification based on the high level
functionality of the device… How it is related to
throughput?? Can u more specific on this…

Thanks in advance
Suja.

You must write your own driver. You can take all of the IOCTL handling
code from serial.sys and then substitute USB commands instead of
accessing hardware. This is definitely a hard task, not for the faint
of heart. This type of project will take an experienced developer at 6
months of time, not to mention test.

There is a USB class, CDC, which covers modems which are a subset of
rs232. windows ships a usb modem driver, but it is just enough to get
modems working, it is not a full fledged serial driver.
