How to add extra PID info in WinCE USB description ?

Hi

How can I change WinCE device USB description if I want to add it with more
detailed info.

I know we can change platform.reg USB function default driver keys

"idProduct"=dword:yyyy
"idVendor"=dword:xxxx

but how can I make usb description like "USB\Vid_xxxx&Pid_yyyy&MI_00" for PC
Windows driver ? Where to add the extra info "&MI_00" ?

Thank you .

I do not exactly what MI stands for, anyway the USB Function driver
framework cares about the following registry entries:
TEXT("DefaultPrefi")
TEXT("MaxPacketSize")
TEXT("VendorID")
TEXT("ProductID")
TEXT("BCDDevice")
TEXT("ManufacturerString")
TEXT("ProductString")
TEXT("SerialString")
TEXT("PowerConsumption")
TEXT("Attributes")

Hi Luca

"&MI_00" is vendor definied information .

PC driver use "USB\Vid_xxxx&Pid_yyyy&MI_00" for inf file and Device Manager
driver installation .

Just curious why you want to redefine device-identification....

The MI suffix in the .INF file is used for composite USB function device:
maybe you can find some info about the registry settings here

You can look in the drivers themselves to see where this is set. I suspect
that they are not exposed in the registry and that you will need to modify
the code to change them.
