Proposal for NXP: Free USB PID/VID

Hello NXP,

I was seeing on Wikipedia "Obtaining a vendor ID", but unfortunately NXP not on the list.

You may not want to complicate life, if so, I have a wonderful Suggestions: PID / VID for generic devices (Serial CDC, MSD, Mouse/keyboard HID, etc.).

It will be free advertising for your company and products.

Sounds good, right?

Deal or no deal? :)

I too am confused, I have several users, just to access information / programs on these chips.

Now another user to read a document?

:eek:

I use lpc1343, 1769 and 1754 so there's no way that I'll get my 'free' VID/PIDs.
Besides this, clicking the PDF gives me an "access denied" error.

I don't want yet another login for some system.
Why is this not just on the ics.nxp.com pages and accessible to everyone.

And why forums at lpcware? Why not use this site and introduce more forums?
And why yet another place to find example code and drivers for lpcxxx chips.
And why does that site not just carry the NXP logo? It's an NXP owned site.

I would welcome one place to find all the information I need.
Now I'm getting my data sheets, user manuals and application notes from ics.nxp.com but the samples on that site are not up to date: for those I check the latest LPCXpresso release and it seems that lpcware is becoming the third reference source for some information :confused:

I would have expected the PID/VID program to be more 'official NXP' and indeed accessible to other lpc chips also. If I could just buy a number of VID/PIDs from a company like Farnell, Mouser or Conrad for general use I would just use their service. Currently I'm just using random numbers which is of course not the way to go forward.

Are belgians invited too? :D

If you want to buy us some beer :D
I am planning one (possibly more) meeting that is open to everyone who wants to join. I have two possible Seats2Meet locations for this: one is in Arnhem, the other in Utrecht - both are open on Saturdays but I want to see the location for myself before deciding when and where to meet.

My idea is to have a meeting in style of the S2M concept. I'll just be there and be available for other LPCXpresso users.

I have some ideas for this but I want to verify some things first before telling more.

Regards,[INDENT]Rob
[/INDENT]P.s: I actually prefered to do this in Nijmegen but don't know a suitable location for this.

Roll out will be on LPCware.com in the coming weeks. It will firstly be LPC11U00 focused.

and you can read in this thread then the date was changed:

That was only written in this thread by NXP support as an unofficial announcement that they planned to start rollout earlier.
Apparently that plan has not been implemented - the NXP website still mentions December.

maybe NXP Europe can tell us if they have a new date. Although I know they are quite busy; I've been trying to plan a 'meeting' with some of the guys since beginning of December but they even have too much to do to join me for a beer&bite :eek:

That was published in November 2011, and you can read in this thread then the date was changed:

Cancelled?

Did anything change since you last wrote:

We have at least 262 days to go before this milestone becomes valid.

you are the second person today referring to wikipedia.
Although wikipedia is a nice source and the give a lot of valuable information, it is nowhere stated that wikipedia is always correct and always complete.

In fact, wikipedia is never complete ... It will never contain everything that is out there in the real world.
So as a warning to all people on this forum: don't take wikipedia as your only reference - if it is not on Wikipedia this does not mean it is not possible or does not exist.

My proposal is simpler than the competition: provide a PID for each generic device and NXP does not have to grant permissions individually, saving time and personnel.

I think that this is not simple at all and cannot be used in this way.
If NXP would provide just one PID for each generic device then how do I distinguish between two lpc1769 board with different functionality (one board containing an HID driver, the next an MSD) ???

I'm happy to see that NXP is going to do something. I'll be visiting them somewhere this month (if my new job allows) and order a stack of PIDs - I've got a number of nice projects on the way :D

Hello Luis,

planning of rollout is now end of January 2012 ...

Good news, because the website says: "Details of the NXP USB VID / PID program will be available on www.lpcware.com in [B]December 2012[/B]"

I imagine that the program will be for all MCU that supports USB, not just the LPC11Uxx family.

Thank you!

Details of the NXP USB VID / PID program will be available on www.lpcware.com in December 2012

I wonder if it's in "December 2012" or 2011 (now)?
If only it will be for chips LPC11U00, etc.

Thank you.

if you follow Luis' link above you will see a link to MCS. They will sell you a PID for 9.95€

I've tried to post the link twice, but my posts have been referred to a moderator. :mad:

That happened to me too.

The problem with these IDs is that they are "illegals" supposedly.

If all other manufacturers are offering ranges of IDs for its clients, it seems a good idea to also NXP does.

My proposal is simpler than the competition: provide a PID for each generic device and NXP does not have to grant permissions individually, saving time and personnel.
