The problem that is occurring is when my device changes the operation mode (USB Class) from “USB HID Device” to “USB CDC Serial” the computer doesn’t recognize the USB CDC Serial device. This problem occurs just in the Windows 10. When you plug the device into your USB, Windows will look for the associated driver, if it cannot find this driver then you will be prompted to insert the driver disc that came with your device. Common USB Device errors are ‘usb port not working‘, ‘device descriptor request failed error’ or ‘bugcodeusbdriver’ issues.

Communication Device Class - Abstract Control Model (CDC-ACM)This USB class is usually used for serial port emulation and as a modem interface.The class is also often used in combination with older software which previously used RS-232 to communicate with an external device.

• 1Accessing CDC

Accessing CDC on Linux

On Linux no drivers are needed, the device should show up as/dev/ttyACM0 or similar. 'sudo screen /dev/ttyACM0 115200'can be used to access the device.

Accessing CDC on Windows

On Windows 8.1 and below the 'usbser' driver is not automaticallyassigned to the CDC-ACM device. An .inf file for the CDC-ACM device must be installed on these older systems. The device can be accessed via COM portemulation programs e.g. PuTTY.

Accessing CDC on macOS

On macOS no drivers are needed, the device should show up as/dev/tty.usbmodem13245678 or similar. The 'screen' terminalprogram can be used to access the device.

Windows 10 comes with a re-designed driver for CDC-ACM. At the time of writing (June 2019) Windows 10 has an issue with large IN CDC transfers. Sometimes packets seems to disappear inside the Windows 10 USB stack.

The only workaround is to read in small chunks. Or to add a delay to the transfers.We have analysed this using a hardware USB analyser and a test program whichreads data from the device. The device (USB high-speed) sends out data continuously in 512 bytes packets. Each packet has a unique, consecutive ID.The test application checks that the received packet always has the ID of the previous packet + 1. After a couple dozen packet the error usually appears and a packet ends up missing.When comparing the packets which are seen 'on the wire' using the USB analyser with the packets which the Windows 10 program received it can be seen that sometimes packets are missing even though they were clearly successfully received by Windows 10. E.g. on the analyser one can see packets 30, 31, 32, 33 and on Windows 10 one can see 30, 31, 33. It would appear that the method through which data is read from the COM port (Windows API ReadFile, ReadFile overlapped or ReadFileEx) has no effect on the missing packets.

When using the same program on Windows 7 no issues can be seen.

This topic lists the Microsoft-provided drivers for the supported USB device classes.

• Microsoft-provided drivers for USB-IF approved device classes.
• For composite devices, use USB Generic Parent Driver (Usbccgp.sys) that creates physical device objects (PDOs) for each function.
• For non-composite devices or a function of a composite device, use WinUSB (Winusb.sys).

If you are installing USB drivers: You do not need to download USB device class drivers. They are installed automatically. These drivers and their installation files are included in Windows. They are available in the WindowsSystem32DriverStoreFileRepository folder. The drivers are updated through Windows Update.

If you are writing a custom driver: Before writing a driver for your USB device, determine whether a Microsoft-provided driver meets the device requirements. If a Microsoft-provided driver is not available for the USB device class to which your device belongs, then consider using generic drivers, Winusb.sys or Usbccgp.sys. Write a driver only when necessary. More guidelines are included in Choosing a driver model for developing a USB client driver.

USB Device classes

USB Device classes are categories of devices with similar characteristics and that perform common functions. Those classes and their specifications are defined by the USB-IF. Each device class is identified by USB-IF approved class, subclass, and protocol codes, all of which are provided by the IHV in device descriptors in the firmware. Microsoft provides in-box drivers for several of those device classes, called USB device class drivers. If a device that belongs to a supported device class is connected to a system, Windows automatically loads the class driver, and the device functions with no additional driver required.

Hardware vendors should not write drivers for the supported device classes. Windows class drivers might not support all of the features that are described in a class specification. If some of the device's capabilities are not implemented by the class driver, vendors should provide supplementary drivers that work in conjunction with the class driver to support the entire range of functionality provided by the device.

For general information about USB-IF approved device classes see the USB Common Class Specification

The current list of USB class specifications and class codes is documented in the USB-IF Defined Class Code List.

Device setup classes

Windows categorizes devices by device setup classes, which indicate the functionality of the device.

Microsoft defines setup classes for most devices. IHVs and OEMs can define new device setup classes, but only if none of the existing classes apply. For more information, see System-Defined Device Setup Classes.

Two important device setup classes for USB devices are as follows:

• USBDevice {88BAE032-5A81-49f0-BC3D-A4FF138216D6}: IHVs must use this class for custom devices that do not belong to another class. This class is not used for USB host controllers and hubs.

• USB {36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000}: IHVs must not use this class for their custom devices. This is reserved for USB host controllers and USB hubs.

The device setup classes are different from USB device classes discussed earlier. For example, an audio device has a USB device class code of 01h in its descriptor. When connected to a system, Windows loads the Microsoft-provided class driver, Usbaudio.sys. In Device Manager, the device is shown under is Sound, video and game controllers, which indicates that the device setup class is Media.
