USB CDC PnP - v333k - Apr 8 22:55:45 2008
Hi all,
I am using the USB CDC class to communicate with my SAM7SE board, but
I would like to know if there is a solution for plugging the board in
the PC. Each time I plug it in a new USB port, I have to install the
driver again. Even though I've installed it many times, it can never
recognize it. I am not sure if it is something that is Windows inf
driver related or the USB Descriptors in the ARM chip.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
this is how windows works. Windows generates a new device for each port.
Otherwise it will not be able to identify two devices with the same
properties connected at the same time.

Add a unique serial number to your device and it will not prompt
this again.

Thanks! I tried adding a serial number in the device USB descriptor,
but nothing really changed. I read that link you mentioned, but they
are talking about so many different issues. Do I need to modify the
inf file to look for that particular serial number? How can I verify
that when I install the driver, the serial number is now being included?
Thanks again.

You do not need to change the INF file.
Use a host tool like USBview to see the descriptors. You can either
get USBView from Windows DDK or an old version here.
