winusb device driver application not being executed

I am developing WinUSB application which does basic reads through Interrupt endpoint with a generic USB device. The device driver has installed fine. But the applications t_main function is not being triggered at all when the device connects. It gets triggered ONLY in visual studio debugger and works fine.

What am i missing here? Winusbtrace detects the device and logs entry and exit of WinUSB_InitControlPipe and WinUSB_DOEntry. Logs in Windows/inf/*.log are not helpful as they log only installs. Any other log I can refer to ?

I would really appreciate any inputs. Thanks in advance. Below is my INF file and I am using visual studio 2013 on Win 7 x64

Solution

  • The winusb application is not a driver. You have to tell it when to run. If you are trying to get the application to run when the device is plugged in, you can attempt to bind the application to the connection event described in this post: https://superuser.com/questions/219401/starting-scheduled-task-by-detecting-connection-of-usb-drive
