custom fx3 driver signing

[JoSc_4565121]

It looks like your fx3 driver was initially signed. We added a couple of entries in the .inf file for our custom devices, but of course now the driver is unsigned. Windows won't run it unless we reboot each time in "accept unsigned driver" mode. This is a problem for a device we intend to put through medical clinical trials soon.

Can you help us, either by showing us a straightforward way to sign our own driver (which only needs to run on our own PC), or sign it for us?

Hello,

There are multiple approaches you can try to bind the device to the unsigned driver for testing purposes.

1. Disable driver enforcement in startup settings: How to Disable Driver Signature Verification on 64-Bit Windows 8 or 10 (So That You Can Install Unsi...

This will disable the signature check until its enabled.  This is the easiest way as multiple times configuration is not needed and its a simple process.

2. Test signing the driver for your PC: How to Test-Sign a Driver Package - Windows drivers | Microsoft Docs

Follow the complete procedure in the above link.

You need to put the PC in test mode after the driver is test signed to load the driver to the device.

Note that when using this method, if you alter the .inf file after test signing it.  you need to regenerate the catalog and sign it again using the certificate.
