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/). - -Table if IDs for discrimination by textual name: - -PID dec (hex) | VID dec (hex) | Description of use -==============+===============+============================================ -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/). - -Table if IDs for discrimination by serial number string: - -PID dec (hex) | VID dec (hex) | Description of use -===============+===============+=========================================== -10200 (0x27d8) | 5824 (0x16c0) | For Vendor Class devices with libusb ----------------+---------------+------------------------------------------- -10201 (0x27d9) | 5824 (0x16c0) | For generic HID class devices (which are - | | NOT mice, keyboards or joysticks) ----------------+---------------+------------------------------------------- -10202 (0x27da) | 5824 (0x16c0) | For USB Mice ----------------+---------------+------------------------------------------- -10203 (0x27db) | 5824 (0x16c0) | For USB Keyboards ----------------+---------------+------------------------------------------- -10204 (0x27db) | 5824 (0x16c0) | For USB Joysticks ----------------+---------------+------------------------------------------- -10205 (0x27dc) | 5824 (0x16c0) | For CDC-ACM class devices (modems) ----------------+---------------+------------------------------------------- -10206 (0x27dd) | 5824 (0x16c0) | For MIDI class devices ----------------+---------------+------------------------------------------- - - -================= -ORIGIN OF USB-IDs -================= - -OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT Software GmbH has obtained all VID/PID pairs listed -here from Wouter van Ooijen (see www.voti.nl) for exclusive disposition. -Wouter van Ooijen has obtained the VID from the USB Implementers Forum, Inc. -(see www.usb.org).
