TMS320F28377S: USB CDC Driver install and customized device name

LEI YAN

Part Number: TMS320F28377S
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: C2000WARE

Hello e2e,

our customer is using F28377S USB CDC function, they found while they connect USB port to windows 10 PC, the windows os will automatically install the driver, and the driver name is from TI called "TivaWare USB Serial Port".

for customer application, they do not want the windows 10 automatically install the driver, they want build a driver installation software, end customer can install the driver manually, is it possible to forbid windows doing like that?

and they also want to customize the USB driver name in windows, is it ok to modify the usb_dev_cserial.inf directly as below, does there have any legal issue for customer?

thanks in advance.

MFGNAME = "Texas Instruments, Inc."
DISKNAME = "TivaWare Composite Serial Device"
DESCRIPTION_0 = "TivaWare USB Serial Port"
DESCRIPTION_1 = "TivaWare USB Serial Command Port"
SERVICE = "TivaWare USB CDC serial port"

Hi Leon,

I believe this question is better suited for the tools forum and SDO organization.

I believe it is fine to change the name and description. There should be nothing wrong with this, but please check with the tools forum.

There appears to be a way to prevent automatic installation. You can do an internet search to see how for your operating system.

Regards,
sal

Hi Leon,

I am not sure what you are asking?

Have you tried changing the names in the driver files? Are you still able to connect to the device after changing the names?
