not work for vista and win 7 !!
Maybe that's been the problem all along.
Haven't tried usbser.sys from the win 7 disk itself yet !
Thx for the ideas !

OK, so Bertik's LPCUSB must technically be called CDC-ACM which I have seen
before... BTW, In XP, I can talk to my product using either terminal software
or my application that is used for field upgrades of firmware of LPC2366 parts
through the virtual comm port.
I just need to get it to work with Windows 7 now. So, I will just tray harder,
but I had heard of problems that others had with CDC-ATM (I'm pretty sure
theirs was -ACM as well) and some kind of "patch" was mentioned
The chat about this stuff is very cryptic to me for some reason. There is a LOT
about windows drivers and communications I don't understand....
Obviously.
I am surprised that I got the XP stuff to work so well.
That one is for different CDC sub-class. There are many sub-classes
within the CDC class.
> That is different than usbser.sys for xp that I

usbser.sys is for CDC-ACM. It is in Win2k/XP/Vista/7. It is
actually available for Win98SE/ME as well. But there are
quite some problems associated with the driver so that
USB to Serial Converter IC vendors like FTDI/Prolific/Silabs
do not use CDC-ACM class but use a custom class
and develop their own drivers.

I have to check, I may not use the stock inf file from JCWren.
But yes you can use the same inf file for XP/Vista/Win7
(32bit and 64bit) to install the driver.

Those three DLLs has nothing to do with usbser.sys,
and they are not redistributable (debugging dlls), I think
you are using a non-release version of some program.

You need a terminal program.
I used mtty (from Microsoft) and Bray Terminal for the tests
under Win7 64bit. I could not find the original download source
from Microsoft. But you can download a version from Netburner. http://www.netburner.com/support/public_downloads.html
Of course there are many other terminal programs,
like Tera Term and RealTerm.

That the CDC class driver for Vista, server 2008 and Windows 7 is Usb8023.sys
That is different than usbser.sys for xp that I use.
I could not find an exact example on JCW's site, but that doesn't
mean it isn't there. Also went to the LPCUSB forum and noticed a couple
newer posts, but it doesn't look like many ppl use this system ? Those
posts are far and few between which is why I came here.
Thank you,

I have them install usbser.inf, usbser.sys and I think they need MFC42D.DLL,
MFCO42D.DLL and MSVCRTD.DLL I can't remember which .DLL files were
needed for XP.
You sure there isn't some other file they may need for win 7 and/or Vista
??

JCWren's example works fine under Windows 7 (tested under
32bit and 64bit). It uses lpcusb for the USB part and it is
CDC. Last time I could not get it work under Vista 32bit,
in the end I found it is a setting problem for the terminal
program. http://www.jcwren.com/arm/

My problem lately has been that the old CDC virtual comm drivers,
usbser.sys do not appear to work on Windows 7
Has anybody successfully gotten LPCUSB to work with win 7 ??
Works great with win XP for me.
> I want to access it as any other USB device now.
USB-UART chip vendors provide "direct" PC drivers, other than virtual COM port
drivers. FTDI - D2XX, SiLabs - USBXpress, etc. These drivers directly expose the
chips to application (actually, over DLL), without changing USB configuration on
the chip. No COM port appears.
If you want to do similar way for your CDC device, generic drivers are
available. WinUSB, libusb, etc. Just assigning the device VID/PID to these
drivers on an INF file, your device is driven by these drivers, without any
change on your firmware.
The major difference of generic drivers and CDC driver lies in the bulk
endpoint. CDC driver always polls the CDC bulk endpoint, and it stores data from
the device in a RX buffer, which sits on the driver. Generic drivers access to
the bulk endpoint, just when your PC application reads the endpoint. Therefore,
to run the bulk endpoint in similar way, your application has to issue read call
one after another.
