usb-serial gadget -- windows xp not working

usb-serial gadget -- windows xp not working

[nidhi mittal hada]

Hi all
I tried using g_serial driver for using my BeagleBoard (BB)  as usb
serial gadget to connect it to windows xp host.
using this link
http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/usb/gadget_serial.txt

The command
modprobe g_serial executed properly  on BB (gadget) and It gets
identified successfully on Linus host(ubuntu) when connected through
usb wire.

But
when the gadget connected to Windows XP .
Host XP identifies a new hardware in device manager ...But the step of
installing the .inf file obtained from
http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/usb/linux-cdc-acm.inf
does not succeed !!!

As i found after googling --  i changed the product ID Vendor ID in
.inf file ..as found for my gadget.
But the problem persists.!!!

Pl help .

Thanks
Nidhi

The inf file indeed has some bugs. But I doubt that is your problem.

mchpcdc.inf (and its derivatives)

 [DestinationDirs]
 FakeModemCopyFileSection=12            ; <------ add this line
 DefaultDestDir=12

 [DriverInstall.nt]
 include=mdmcpq.inf
 ;; CopyFiles = DriverCopyFiles.nt      ; <------ wrong one: reference
to this INF file
 CopyFiles = FakeModemCopyFileSection   ; <------ right one: reference
to a section in mdmcpq.inf

 ;; [DriverCopyFiles.nt]                ; <------ delete these lines

If you have used the VID/PID for other experiment, then you will got
problems. You can use usbdeview to get Windows to forget about
the VID/PID combination.

Or you can use pnputil if you have WDK.

That depends on your hardware.  Test it yourself and see.
