Load drivers automatically

Hi,

Is there a way to set up the USB descriptors of the FX2 so that after I have plugged it into one port of the PC and loaded the drivers, if I plug it into another port the drivers are loaded automatically without any user intervention. A customer has told me that if the USB device has a serial number in the descriptor then you should only need to load the drivers once and thereafter the drivers will be automatically loaded by Windows even if the USB device is plugged into another USB port for the first time.

Thanks,

Liam

Hi Liam,

Yes. That is a good point.

I have tested it at my end and it works exactly as you stated. No need to load drivers again when it is connected to another port if it has a serial number.

Thanks,

Sai Krishna.
