Hi,

   

I am using Cypress, CY7C68013A-56LFXC and EZ-USB.sys driver version 1.30.0.0.  When I connect on some PC's running Windows XP, the device is not recognized.  Is this a known issue and is there a fix?

   

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer,

   

Camille

What is the error code you're seeing in device manager and what is the VID/PID being seen in device manager? Migrating to CyUSB.sys available through SuiteUSB would be a great idea.

I cannot match the device to the driver.  

   

The Device Instance ID is :

   

USB\VID_0456&PID_B405\5&1F8094F2&0&5

   

The Hardware IDs are:

   

USB\Vid_0456&Pid_b405&Rev_0000
USB\Vid_0456&Pid_b405

   

When I try to point to the ezusb.sys or my .inf file, I get the  error "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware." 

   

I don't think migrating to the cyusb.sys will improve my situation if I cannot even force the device to match to a driver.  Has anyone else encountered this problem?

This error message indicates that the inf file does not have your VID/PID added.

   

Find attached the inf file in which I had added your VID/PID. Try this inf file.

Hi Gopal,

   

Thanks for the .inf file.  My .inf file (attached) does have the VID/PID in it.  I get the same message using my .inf file or the one you sent me.  Always "Cannot Install this Hardware" the wizard cannot find the necessary software.  If I try to point to the driver I always get "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware."  Any other suggestions?

Camille,

   

Are you using a 32-bit or 64-bit XP??

Dear All,

   

I encountered the same issue.

   

I use wxp 32bit, and when I connected the device to PC, the device manager displays "unknown device". Then I modified the cyusb.inf and tried to load it, it shows that ""The specified location does not contain information about your hardware".

   

My cyusb.inf file is as the follow:
