USB LVR WinUSB getting started Unexpected Exception Not Found

[bebetxx]

Good day people and Jan,

I recently bought the book(quite hard for me), and firstly I was able to make easy the Microchip WinUSB example to work after a few days of working. Because my project needs a transfer between 4 and 5 Mega bits/s I decided to use the Jan Axelson's WinUSB bulk transfer example from the Download. I downloaded it, and I was able to program in my PIC18F4550. Then I created a folder with the following files: "WdfCoInstaller01009.dll", "winusbcoinstaller2.dll" and the INF file provided by Jan in winusb_cs archive. The driver was installed correctly and Windows says me that the hardware is ready to use. After I compiled the Visual C++ example which sends data as bulk I receive the following error:

Message Title: Unexpected Exception
Content: Exception: Not Found
Module: FrmMain
Method: ThrowWithExtendedInfo

I used Visual C++ debug system and I was able to find that the software it is not able to find it properly the device and it throws this error message.

Can anyone give me a hint of how to make it work properly? Is there any website of how to make everything right step by step(compilling the firmware, the software) or a video?

Follow these instructions and you don't need an INF file:

The setupapilog file can help you find out what is going wrong:

Do I need to change anything from your firmware source code or from the Visual C++ project?

[Jan Axelson]

My WinUSB example is C#. My latest Microchip code includes the needed OS descriptors with the GUID.

[bebetxx]

Can I also use the tutorial from Microsoft http://blogs.msdn.com/b/usbcoreblog/archive/2012/09/26/how-to-install-winusb-sys-without-a-custom-inf.aspx to install the driver from your example also on Windows XP or 7?

Thank you again Jan, and very shortly I will tell you if I was able to install the driver correctly and I can use your Visual C# software example.

[Jan Axelson]

yes

[bebetxx]

I read the article but it doesn't say anything about how to do exactly in order to install the driver http://blogs.msdn.com/b/usbcoreblog/archive/2012/09/26/how-to-install-winusb-sys-without-a-custom-inf.aspx .

I tried the steps from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff540283(v=vs.85).aspx#inf but I get an error  "The required section was not found in the INF". There is no file called MyCatFile.cat and I have two folders called winusb and wdf from WinDDK

[Jan Axelson]

If you are using a 64-bit Windows edition, the INF file must be digitally signed. (That is one reason to use the Windows-provided INF file.)

You can test-sign the INF file for use on your computer only:

Nothing works. Why you guys don't want to explain better of how to do or just publish an archive which contains the driver for the first run.

I have the following files:
winusbdemo.inf

The setupapi log says that your INF file isn't trusted (not signed)

#I022 Found "USB\VID_0925&PID_150C" in c:\usbdevice\winusbdemo.inf; Device: "WinUSB Demo"; Driver: "WinUSB Demo"; Provider: "Lakeview Research"; Mfg: "Lakeview Research"; Section name: "USB_Install".

The system winusb.inf will work only if you have the required Microsoft OS descriptors that contain your device's GUID.

[bebetxx]

How can I fix that problem in order to install the driver correctly on my Windows XP machine?

[Jan Axelson]

Does your device have the required Microsoft OS descriptors? See Microchip's example code.

[bebetxx]

The Device's firmware is the same with LVR's firmware. When I plug the device onto a Windows 8 x64 machine, the device is recognized automatically, installed and actually the Visual Studio's example software is able to send and receive bulk data via USB. But when I try to install the driver(Windows Driver Kit along with the inf file provided by the LVR example) I get that error. What should I do in order to install it also on my Windows XP machine?

[Jan Axelson]

Try the INF file that comes with the Microchip WinUSB example.

Save a copy using a different filename.

Comment out this line; the cat file won't be valid after you edit the INF:

CatalogFile=mchpwinusb.cat

Replace the Vendor and Product IDs with your device's values.

Replace the GUID with the GUID in your application.
