The Microsoft article "USB serial driver (Usbser.sys)" tells that:
>>If you want to load Usbser.sys automatically, set the class code to 02 and subclass code to 02 in the Device Descriptor.
If I program a STM32 MCU with a CDC example with 02 class code (CDC) and 02 subclass code (ACM), the usbser.sys loads. And this makeshift USB-UART bridge detected as "Ports (COM and LPT)/COM5". If I use some USB-UART bridge IC (like FT232), commonly it's class is "Vendor specific" and they need a vendors driver. If the vendor driver has install this devices are also detected as "Ports (COM and LPT)/COMx"
The Cypress USB-UART bridge CY7C65213 has 02/02 class/subclass in the descriptor. But without the Cypress driver, this IC detected as "Other devices/Virtual Serial Port Device 00".
Actually, I can install the Cypress driver, this IC will detected as COMx and my soft will work well.
But I want to understand why the usbser.sys driver is not loading with this device? How can the Wondows understand that some USB CDC-ACM devices need the usbser.sys and the other don't need this driver? Is the difference in the descriptor or somwehere else? What instruments shall I use to spot the difference and to tell one devices from other?
