FREE USB-IDs FOR SHARED USE
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Objective Development has reserved a set of USB Product-IDs for use according
|
|
to the guidelines outlined below. For more information about the concept of
|
|
USB IDs please see the file USB-ID-FAQ.txt. Objective Development guarantees
|
|
that the IDs listed below are not used by any USB compliant devices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
====================
|
|
MECHANISM OF SHARING
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
From a technical point of view, two different devices can share the same USB
|
|
Vendor- and Product-ID if they require the same driver on operating system
|
|
level. We make use of this fact by assigning separate IDs for various device
|
|
classes. On application layer, devices must be distinguished by their textual
|
|
name or serial number. We offer separate sets of IDs for discrimination by
|
|
textual name and for serial number.
|
|
|
|
Examples for shared use of USB IDs are included with V-USB in the "examples"
|
|
subdirectory.

|
IDs FOR DISCRIMINATION BY TEXTUAL NAME
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
If you use one of the IDs listed below, your device and host-side software
|
|
must conform to these rules:
|
|
|
|
(1) The USB device MUST provide a textual representation of the manufacturer
|
|
and product identification. The manufacturer identification MUST be available
|
|
at least in USB language 0x0409 (English/US).
|
|
|
|
(2) The textual manufacturer identification MUST contain either an Internet
|
|
domain name (e.g. "mycompany.com") registered and owned by you, or an e-mail
|
|
address under your control (e.g. "myname@gmx.net"). You can embed the domain
|
|
name or e-mail address in any string you like, e.g. "Objective Development
|
|
http://www.obdev.at/vusb/".
|
|
|
|
(3) You are responsible for retaining ownership of the domain or e-mail
|
|
address for as long as any of your products are in use.
|
|
|
|
(4) You may choose any string for the textual product identification, as long
|
|
as this string is unique within the scope of your textual manufacturer
|
|
identification.
|
|
|
|
(5) Application side device look-up MUST be based on the textual manufacturer
|
|
and product identification in addition to VID/PID matching. The driver
|
|
matching MUST be a comparison of the entire strings, NOT a sub-string match.
|
|
|
|
(6) For devices which implement a particular USB device class (e.g. HID), the
|
|
operating system's default class driver MUST be used. If an operating system
|
|
driver for Vendor Class devices is needed, this driver must be libusb or
|
|
libusb-win32 (see http://libusb.org/ and
|
|
http://libusb-win32.sourceforge.net/).
|
|

|

1500 (0x05dc) | 5824 (0x16c0) | For Vendor Class devices with libusb
|
|
--------------+---------------+--------------------------------------------
|
|
1503 (0x05df) | 5824 (0x16c0) | For generic HID class devices (which are
|
|
| | NOT mice, keyboards or joysticks)
|
|
--------------+---------------+--------------------------------------------
|
|
1505 (0x05e1) | 5824 (0x16c0) | For CDC-ACM class devices (modems)
|
|
--------------+---------------+--------------------------------------------
|
|
1508 (0x05e4) | 5824 (0x16c0) | For MIDI class devices
|
|
--------------+---------------+--------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Note that Windows caches the textual product- and vendor-description for
|
|
mice, keyboards and joysticks. Name-bsed discrimination is therefore not
|
|
recommended for these device classes.

|
|
|
|
|
=======================================
|
|
IDs FOR DISCRIMINATION BY SERIAL NUMBER
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
If you use one of the IDs listed below, your device and host-side software
|
|
must conform to these rules:
|
|
|
|
(1) The USB device MUST provide a textual representation of the serial
|
|
number. The serial number string MUST be available at least in USB language
|
|
0x0409 (English/US).
|
|
|
|
(2) The serial number MUST start with either an Internet domain name (e.g.
|
|
"mycompany.com") registered and owned by you, or an e-mail address under your
|
|
control (e.g. "myname@gmx.net"), both terminated with a colon (":") character.
|
|
You MAY append any string you like for further discrimination of your devices.
|
|
|
|
(3) You are responsible for retaining ownership of the domain or e-mail
|
|
address for as long as any of your products are in use.
|
|
|
|
(5) Application side device look-up MUST be based on the serial number string
|
|
in addition to VID/PID matching. The matching must start at the first
|
|
character of the serial number string and include the colon character
|
|
terminating your domain or e-mail address. It MAY stop anywhere after that.
|
|
|
|
(6) For devices which implement a particular USB device class (e.g. HID), the
|
|
operating system's default class driver MUST be used. If an operating system
|
|
driver for Vendor Class devices is needed, this driver must be libusb or
|
|
libusb-win32 (see http://libusb.org/ and
|
|
http://libusb-win32.sourceforge.net/).
