Hi,
My intention is that when we connect our USB Device to the Host PC it shall appear as a COM Port on Host PC.
Does this can be achieved using usbser.sys driver available on Host PC?
What VID and PID I shall use on USB Device side and what is the class driver that I have to implement on Device Side?
Thank You & Regards,
GSR

usbser.sys is for devices that use the USB Communications class, abstract control model. You provide your own VID and PID and an INF file for the PC, assuming Windows.
Another way to do it is to use a chip such as FTDI's USB UART, which uses FTDI's driver and can use the chip's embedded VID and PID.
