I'm now able to get my USB device to enumerate. Great! Next step: Getting the Windows7-side drivers loaded.
I'm having trouble figuring out the next step. When I run the TI supplied usb_bulk_example.exe it comes back with a System Error: "The program can't start because lmusbdll.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." I tried reinstalling it many times, with no success. Something must be missing.
I'm guessing the missing thing is a .inf file. So I looked in the Stellarisware USB guide, and it gave a sample .inf file, with notes on how to change it to fit my needs. But I don't know what to do with the .inf file. Where do I put it? What do I do with it? I can't find more info in the above-mentioned guide.
The above-mentioned guide gives a link to a Microsoft webpage on their WINUSB. That link is now old/broken. MS has moved that page somewhere else. Microsoft gives a new user-mode component, called WINUSB.dll, a dynamic link library. This from their website:
The WinUSB architecture consists of a kernel-mode driver (Winusb.sys) and a user-mode dynamic link library (Winusb.dll) that exposes WinUSB functions. By using these functions, you can manage USB devices with user-mode software.
Should I be looking at writing my application to use the MS WINUSB.dll instead of the TI supplied lmusbdll.dll as my Windows7-side dynamic link library?
