I'm studying CYUSB3014. I want to change the friendly name that shown by FX3 device. 003.png

 I've tried to modify CyFxUSBManufactureDscr and CyFxUSBProductDscr, but it doesn't work. How can I do it?

Hi,

To change the friendly name "Cypress FX3 USB StreamerExample Device" in windows device manager, the string related to that particular VID PID must be modified in the driver .inf file (here, cyusb3.inf). 

Note that after making the changes to the driver.inf file, you need to get it signed from Windows. Please look at the Driver Resell procedure mentioned in CyUSB.pdf provided with the FX3 SDK.

Best Regards,
AliAsgar
