 23 Aug 2008 9:18 For a HID device in USB how to show my product Name? |
|
|
|
Hello
When I connect my PIC based HID device (Based on Jan Axelson's firmware) into USB of windows XP, It shows as HID device detected. (As it should be!) Device manager also shows normal HID jargon!
What is the method or procedure to show my custom name in these spots. I think .inf files is the way. Any information or links please?
Regards

During enumeration you send a string descriptor.
Link to hid spec.

Hello
Long time No see!
Thanks for the link. Will go through it.
What about 'inf' files? No roles in HID case?

| HID is generally enumerated by class - without an inf file.

Thanks.
So for HID, no driver, no .inf. except windows default drivers.
To show product name in device manager and initial detection screen we can use string descriptors during device enumeration.
clear.
