| 4 | FREE USB-IDs FOR SHARED USE | |
| 5 | =========================== | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | Objective Development has reserved a set of USB Product-IDs for use according | |
| 8 | to the guidelines outlined below. For more information about the concept of | |
| 9 | USB IDs please see the file USB-ID-FAQ.txt. Objective Development guarantees | |
| 10 | that the IDs listed below are not used by any USB compliant devices. | |
| 11 | ||
| 12 | ||
| 13 | ==================== | |
| 14 | MECHANISM OF SHARING | |
| 15 | ==================== | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | From a technical point of view, two different devices can share the same USB | |
| 18 | Vendor- and Product-ID if they require the same driver on operating system | |
| 19 | level. We make use of this fact by assigning separate IDs for various device | |
| 20 | classes. On application layer, devices must be distinguished by their textual | |
| 21 | name or serial number. We offer separate sets of IDs for discrimination by | |
| 22 | textual name and for serial number. | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | Examples for shared use of USB IDs are included with V-USB in the "examples" | |
| 25 | subdirectory. | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | ||
| 28 | ====================================== | |
| 29 | IDs FOR DISCRIMINATION BY TEXTUAL NAME | |
| 30 | ====================================== | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | If you use one of the IDs listed below, your device and host-side software | |
| 33 | must conform to these rules: | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | (1) The USB device MUST provide a textual representation of the manufacturer | |
| 36 | and product identification. The manufacturer identification MUST be available | |
| 37 | at least in USB language 0x0409 (English/US). | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | (2) The textual manufacturer identification MUST contain either an Internet | |
| 40 | domain name (e.g. "mycompany.com") registered and owned by you, or an e-mail | |
| 41 | address under your control (e.g. "myname@gmx.net"). You can embed the domain | |
| 42 | name or e-mail address in any string you like, e.g. "Objective Development | |
| 43 | http://www.obdev.at/vusb/". | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | (3) You are responsible for retaining ownership of the domain or e-mail | |
| 46 | address for as long as any of your products are in use. | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | (4) You may choose any string for the textual product identification, as long | |
| 49 | as this string is unique within the scope of your textual manufacturer | |
| 50 | identification. | |
| 51 | ||
| 52 | (5) Application side device look-up MUST be based on the textual manufacturer | |
| 53 | and product identification in addition to VID/PID matching. The driver | |
| 54 | matching MUST be a comparison of the entire strings, NOT a sub-string match. | |
| 55 | ||
| 56 | (6) For devices which implement a particular USB device class (e.g. HID), the | |
| 57 | operating system's default class driver MUST be used. If an operating system | |
| 58 | driver for Vendor Class devices is needed, this driver must be libusb or | |
| 59 | libusb-win32 (see http://libusb.org/ and | |
| 60 | http://libusb-win32.sourceforge.net/). | |
| 61 | ||
| 62 | Table if IDs for discrimination by textual name: | |
| 63 | ||
| 64 | PID dec (hex) | VID dec (hex) | Description of use | |
| 65 | ==============+===============+============================================ | |
| 66 | 1500 (0x05dc) | 5824 (0x16c0) | For Vendor Class devices with libusb | |
| 67 | --------------+---------------+-------------------------------------------- | |
| 68 | 1503 (0x05df) | 5824 (0x16c0) | For generic HID class devices (which are | |
| 69 | | | NOT mice, keyboards or joysticks) | |
| 70 | --------------+---------------+-------------------------------------------- | |
| 71 | 1505 (0x05e1) | 5824 (0x16c0) | For CDC-ACM class devices (modems) | |
| 72 | --------------+---------------+-------------------------------------------- | |
| 73 | 1508 (0x05e4) | 5824 (0x16c0) | For MIDI class devices | |
| 74 | --------------+---------------+-------------------------------------------- | |
| 75 | ||
| 76 | Note that Windows caches the textual product- and vendor-description for | |
| 77 | mice, keyboards and joysticks. Name-bsed discrimination is therefore not | |
| 78 | recommended for these device classes. | |
| 79 | ||
| 80 | ||
| 81 | ======================================= | |
| 82 | IDs FOR DISCRIMINATION BY SERIAL NUMBER | |
| 83 | ======================================= | |
| 84 | ||
| 85 | If you use one of the IDs listed below, your device and host-side software | |
| 86 | must conform to these rules: | |
| 87 | ||
| 88 | (1) The USB device MUST provide a textual representation of the serial | |
| 89 | number, unless ONLY the operating system's default class driver is used. | |
| 90 | The serial number string MUST be available at least in USB language 0x0409 | |
| 91 | (English/US). | |
| 92 | ||
| 93 | (2) The serial number MUST start with either an Internet domain name (e.g. | |
| 94 | "mycompany.com") registered and owned by you, or an e-mail address under your | |
| 95 | control (e.g. "myname@gmx.net"), both terminated with a colon (":") character. | |
| 96 | You MAY append any string you like for further discrimination of your devices. | |
| 97 | ||
| 98 | (3) You are responsible for retaining ownership of the domain or e-mail | |
| 99 | address for as long as any of your products are in use. | |
| 100 | ||
| 101 | (5) Application side device look-up MUST be based on the serial number string | |
| 102 | in addition to VID/PID matching. The matching must start at the first | |
| 103 | character of the serial number string and include the colon character | |
| 104 | terminating your domain or e-mail address. It MAY stop anywhere after that. | |
| 105 | ||
| 106 | (6) For devices which implement a particular USB device class (e.g. HID), the | |
| 107 | operating system's default class driver MUST be used. If an operating system | |
| 108 | driver for Vendor Class devices is needed, this driver must be libusb or | |
| 109 | libusb-win32 (see http://libusb.org/ and | |
| 110 | http://libusb-win32.sourceforge.net/). | |
| 111 | ||
| 112 | (7) If ONLY the operating system's default class driver is used, e.g. for | |
| 113 | mice, keyboards, joysticks, CDC or MIDI devices and no discrimination by an | |
| 114 | application is needed, the serial number may be omitted. | |
