libusb

Hi all-

I am currently in a Windows 7 dev. environment working to get a device to initialize with libusbdotnet.

The device (a USB mass storage device) connects and runs using the default USB-MASS Storage driver for Windows. I want to replace this driver with the one created by the .INF Wizard in libusbdotnet.

The operating system is a 64-bit, and by default the INF Wizard produces this driver, but I am unable to selected it because it is "unsigned" I believed, when I go to "Pick from a list of drivers" and point to the directory where the newly created device drivers are.

I have enabled "TEST MODE" using DESO but I'm still unable to select this file.

Anyone familiar with libusbdotnet, or directing devices to work with a specific driver that is unsigned in Window (do I need the .inf file? or the .sys???) do you have any advice about where I'm going wrong?

Thanks!

I've installed LibUSB, a software that modifies your USB driver so that programs can access it easily.

I've been developing some software which uses the libusb-win32 library to interact with some USB hardware I've been developing. Now I'm trying to run the same software on windows 64 but the drivers don't seem to work (understandably). Are there any alternatives for 64 bit Windows I've overlooked? >>> More

I'm using libusb to find and access a USB device, but once I get the information I need from there, I need to map it to a /sys node. This could be to the actual USB bus it's on, the /sys/bus/usb-serial node (which is where I'm going to get eventually), or effectively anywhere else since I can walk… >>> More
