embedder.exe fails when USER_DIR in config.h is defined #191

JSB2500 · 2020-06-09T17:43:48Z

Version: v1.3.1

When USER_DIR in config.h is defined, embedded.exe reports this error: "EMBED C:...\libwdi\libwdi\libusb0.dll embedder : error: Could not open file 'C:...\libwdi\libwdi\libusb0.dll'."

Suggested fix: Change line 298 of embedder.c from:
embeddable[i].reuse_last = 0;
to:
embeddable[i].reuse_last = embeddable_fixed[i].reuse_last;

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Yes I can reproduce this issue with latest git.

However, Zadig will often crash with the above configuration, probably due to the embedded Cypress USB driver.

mcuee · 2021-07-07T05:15:21Z

I just tried with one build which remove WinUSB/libusbk/libusb-win32 but only with Cypress, with or without the changes, Zadig will crash. So I guess I do not know how to use the option of user defined driver yet. IMHO this is not well documented.

It seems to me I need to do something to create a template inf and cat file but it is a bit more complicated than that.

mcuee · 2021-07-20T06:58:59Z

It seems to me this is not a real issue but rather lack of documentation to use the custom driver file. I was trying to embed cyusb3 but failed.

mcuee · 2021-07-20T14:52:20Z

One simple solution is to use dpscat.exe from libusbk to sign a custom driver package, then you can use Windows Device Manager to install the file. Windows 10 will pop up a warning message but the installation will be successful.

dpscat is part of libusbk and it uses part of the libwdi codes.

Better method: Use dpinst32.exe/dpinst64.exe from a libusbK driver package and copy dpinst.xml into your driver folder as well. Then you can run dpinst32/dpinst64 to install the driver package for 32bit/64bit respectively.

From Travis -- but I have not tried it yet.

You can also use some of the files from a libusbK driver package to create a self-contained "InstallDriver.exe"

Use the 7za.exe included in the lbusbK driver package to zip all of your driver files to _DriverFiles.7z (You must use the 7za.exe from the libusbK package)

Copy the 7zDP_LZMA.* files, dpinst* files, and dpscat.exe into your driver folder

Execute: "COPY /B "7zDP_LZMA.sfx"+"7zDP_LZMA.cfg"+"_DriverFiles.7z" "InstallDriver.exe"

mcuee · 2021-07-20T15:29:07Z

In reality, once you use the dpscat to build the driver package, you can use different method to create the driver installer, not necessary to follow the above libusbk method or the method in libwdi Zadig or libwdi wid-simple example.
