Now on Windows 10, from our brief reading, you can use the CLASS CODE of the hardware to install the driver but on Windows 10 only. Also, once the process is complete, the signed drivers do not expire. I know that we purchased a 1 year signing certificate last year for our products but note sure if it has yet expired. We do have many custom device drivers that must be supported so our case may be different than yours. BTW, we supply Microsoft, HP, Dell and many other industry giants with our hardware. The test tool will mimic power up / down, plugging / unplugging, stress testing, etc. In the end, we paid our device driver consultant company to build up the proper box for the "stable" testing. We invested over 2 weeks in the lab to stabilize the equipment and could not. Upon return of these signed files, you will have a package of device drivers which will then load onto Windows 7 just fine.īTW: The Microsoft test tool is a royal pain and demanding on which computer hardware which must be used to even keep testing without other issues. Then they will also sign with the Microsoft signature. Once you pass the testing AND sign with your certificate -> then upload to Microsoft for their review. Often you can buy a 1 year kernel mode signing certificate but sometimes it may make business sense to buy 3 year versions before they expire. The company driver vetting (approval) also takes some time and steps to be granted the certificate. This certificate is not free and the pricing varies with the wind direction. That is a small pain in itself but must be done to validate your company details to show ownership and responsibility of this new driver submission. Before you can submit, you need your own kernel mode (device driver) signing certificate. Only if you pass the test, then you must use your Microsoft account (free) and submit to Microsoft for their signature (we call this "for their blessings"). Sometimes these tests can take days to run without interruption. These tests MUST pass and the test tool will create log files for submission to Microsoft. Respectively, now you are required to make a copy of the linked INF file (is text / ASCII file) with your new IDs and perform a mix of Microsoft tests (believe it is HLK). If these IDs are different than the supplied signed driver package from XMOS or whomever, then the driver package is technically now broken on at least Windows 7 and older.Ģ) Why? The reason the driver breaks is because you have changed the hardware IDs. We use a (paid) s/w company who is an expert on device driver development for our custom design on Windows.ġ) You are using an USB device which is based on custom VID and / PID IDs. XMOS or someone else can probably expand on these topics. Here are some comments we believe to be accurate for your request. If I flash the exactly the same board with the firmware used when the board was designed and I use the driver received with the Dev Kit of the third party everything is perfect. I have installed the same driver on a Win7pro PC and the driver is signalled with a question mark and a yellow triangle in the device manager of the control panel of Win7pro and, of course, the board doesn't start. I have installed the driver on a Win10 PC and the behaviour is strange:ġ) Wasapi works 2) direct sound works 3) ASIO KO #define VENDOR_ID (0x1CBA) // Xmos VID so as to use the drivers installed with the Xmos tools #define SERIAL_STR "" // default to empty serial number - a value can be loaded into the str table from the OTP at runtime I introduced the PID received in the following way: I received my PID and the related driver a few days ago. I prefer to hide the information about his third party. I started from a Dev Kit suppplied by a third party and with the kit I received also the Driver for Windows. I have designed a board around the XU216-512-TQ128 chip.
