USB descriptor for serial comm port

Thomas Trummer

Hello,

I'm using a c8051F321 and I want to have a simple communication interface to this µC over USB.
Therefore I thought that a virtual serial comm port will be the right solution.
I know that I have to define the rigth usb descriptors, but I didn't find anything which matchs my intention.

Can anybody tell me how I can create a simple program for serial communication between the c8051f321 and my PC over usb.

thankyou.

    Hi Tsuneo Chinzei.

    The code you have posted works very well, but I have a problem with the "CDC_ACM.inf".
    My laptop has windows 7 x64, but this driver is for x86. Is there a x64 driver. Otherwise I have to work with a virtual pc what is a little bit laborious.

    Here is an INF file of CDC, tested both on Win7 x64 and x86
