TUSB3410 driver deployment OS X & Windows

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TUSB3410

Hi,

We are developing a cloud software, where patients can transfer data from their blood glucose meters. A few of these meters utilize the TUSB3410 chip in their transfer cables (USB virtual com port).

My first question: is the OS X driver you posted at http://e2e.ti.com/support/interface/digital_interface/f/130/t/55982.aspx supported or more specifically officially recognized by TI? Our software's quality processes, as a CE-marked medical software presents us with rigid requirements in terms of testing and documentation. We need to know what is the status of the OS X drivers, can they be considered tested and documented by TI or this a cleans slant as we would have developed them ourselves? 

My second question: The TUSB3410 Windows driver package contains a lot of stuff and its folder hierarchy seems totally different from competing products, where typically we have a root folder with the inf-file and 2-3 child folders with system specific drivers. We are using Microsoft's "Driver Package Installer" - dpinst.exe to deploy and localize the driver installation process. Is the TI package based on some similar standard standard deployment tool as dpinst.exe and what is the route to customize/localize the process? 

Thanks!

    Hello Marcus,

     I'm attaching you  the latest Mac OSx driver available for the TUSB3410, also I have attached the User's Guide that will help you for the installation process.

     On the Windows installer side, the TUSB3410 driver requires a specific ".sys" and ".cat" file for each Windows version, those files are located at:

    \...\<<installer path>>\Texas Instruments Inc\TUSB3410 Single Driver Installer\Windows\tiinst\TUSB3410

    The files located the following paths are required for each OS architecture (32-bit or 64-bit)

    \...\<<installer path>>\Texas Instruments Inc\TUSB3410 Single Driver Installer\Windows\tiinst\TUSB3410\Common-32

    and 

    \...\<<installer path>>\Texas Instruments Inc\TUSB3410 Single Driver Installer\Windows\tiinst\TUSB3410\Common-64

    This installer is created using InstallShield and is distributed as is, the customers are free to extract the drivers files mentioned above use them on their own installer.

    Please let me know if you need any other information.

    Regards,

    Roberto.

    Hi Roberto,

    And thanks for the prompt assistance.

    I would need clarification on this point: can the OS X driver be considered official (tested and approved by TI) or is it provided "as is", without any guarantee of proper functionality? For us this is not a question support, but a question about regulatory responsibility.
