  • Porting USB applications to the web. Part 1: libusb

    They probably use WCID, which is a mechanism for devices to tell Windows that they are compatible with the generic WinUSB driver. Zadig is useful for older versions of windows, non-WCID devices, and when you want to override that auto-specified driver.

    Here's more information from the author of Zadig: https://github.com/pbatard/libwdi/wiki/WCID-Devices

    Using this config files from zadig's github page, it (in my case) got all the correct settings from the start and all I need to do is click replace driver. Place the zadig.ini files in the same directory as your zadig.exe. You might have to choose the correct device.
  • Convert old USB1.0 bulk to serial.

    USB descriptors are supported only up to 8.1 according to your link. And libwdi/zadig is useful links for me, thank you very much! I'll be used ones in my other projects. But I don't need to new USB driver in Windows due to I'll get much more problems with put all together in LabView. I want to use standard WIndows USB-Serial that always present and directly supported via VISA. The NI-VISA isn't using specific protocols for USB. The VISA is just an intermediate level for most of the serial protocols in the NI ecosystem. I'm operating low-level USB packets, commands, responses in the same manner as in C for example but from LabView. But I have to generate the specific INF file which needs for recognition of VISA for each one of the specific instances with a unique USB PID/UID. The problem is mandatory signing such INF files in Windows10 and I'm looking for any way to avoid this.
