FRDM-MCXA153 Full Speed USB

[Gurunath]

Hi, i tried running an USB example named "dev_cdc_vcom_bm" on FRDM-MCXA153 board, where it creates a virtual COM port, and echos back the characters sent though terminal using that specific VCOM port. 

i can see the VCOM appeared in device manager has a default name "USB Serial Device" as shown in the image attached, but i need to change this default name to a custom name, using example code usb files itself,  but not in device manager settings.

Please let me know the steps required to do this name change of VCOM , or any changes to be done in usb example driver files .

Thanks.

Hello @Gurunath 

We need to change the driver configuration to change name. My PC is Win10, I will show the steps  about how to change this default name to a custom name on my side.

Step1. Right click "USB Serial Device" on Device Manager of PC.

Step2, Choose "Driver key" under Details view. Copy the Value.

Hello @Gurunath 

I don't think this can be changed in USB stack.  This is determined by the USB drive on PC.
