Dear All,

      we have finished UVC+CDC with FX3,and we can install the uart driver with *.inf file step by step。

      but how to make a driver(such as *.exe) for our CDC device,we want to install the driver easily in Windows like other USB-UART products。

Hello,

Please find my comments below:

1.Extract the attached .zip file.

2.Modify the Windows Batch file which can be found in the following location

C:\Users\jayt\Desktop\usb_seria_CDC_3.13.0.84\CyUSBSerial_driver_3.13.0.84

Note: This location depends on the location where you extract the .zip file.

3.Depending on the windows version and architecture, the batch file will invoke dpinst.exe

Suppose you are using a Windows 7 x86 PC, then the dpinst.exe found in following location will be invoked.

C:\Users\jayt\Desktop\usb_seria_CDC_3.13.0.84\CyUSBSerial_driver_3.13.0.84\win7_8.1\x86

This .exe file will install the drivers present in the above location for the device.

Hello,

For windows 10, the CDC interface will automatically bind to Microsoft drivers but for windows 7, this will not happen. Please let me know which driver should the CDC interface bind to. Is it the Microsoft Driver or Cypress USB serial driver?

Are you looking to create a driver installer?
