WHQL multiple PIDs

NTDEV
1

I saw this thread:

http://www.osronline.com/showthread.cfm?link=179316

But noted that there was never really a resolution on the question regarding many PIDs.

I have a single INF file for a few different devices that all use the basic WinUSB coinstaller. They’re all able to pass, but testing takes a long, long time on each OS, because the stress tests take several hours.

Can anyone say definitively whether or not it’s ok to run DTM for a single device PID when multiple PIDs are contained in the INF?

Thanks.

So I guess I can safely assume testing one PID will be enough to certify the driver package?

No. At least not safely. Maybe if you sign as unclassified device.

That depends on your definition of “OK”. For unclassified submissions,
WHQL and DTM are interested in the testing of your driver package, not
your hardware. To do that, it only needs to run with one device. You
can get your driver package signed using the results from one device.

As a manufacturer, of course, I want to make sure my driver package
works everywhere. So, I might run the DTM tests for all of the devices
as a Q/A step, but WHQL doesn’t care about that.

The situation is a little different if you are going for the Windows
logo. In that case, you may be contractually obligated to use the logo
only on devices for which you have submitted DTM logs.

It’s an unclassified USB device. We aren’t doing Windows logo. In fact, there aren’t even any custom binaries. It’s just a WinUSB co-installer driver.
