Sensics HMD Windows Drivers

Dependencies

Most of the scripts here require the Windows Driver Kit - version 10 is the default, so if that's what you have, you'll probably be able to minimize how many files you edit.

The executable installer for the driver requires the latest NSIS 2.x release.

To fully enjoy these files, especially on Windows 8/8.1, you'll need a code-signing certificate (self-signed if you're using them on a test-signing-mode machine). Microsoft makes the rules for signed drivers, sorry.

Directories and Output Files

/CDC/

  • sensics_cdc.inf
  • sensics_cdc.cat - generated by batch file from inf and code signing.

Signed inf and catalog files to enable the CDC serial port on Sensics HMDs (used for firmware upgrades, etc - not needed for basic usage). Suitable for Windows 8.1 and older - Windows 10 includes a universal CDC driver. Can be installed on any Windows-supported architecture (including ARM) using pnputil or the "have-disk" method in Device Manager.

/CDC-NSIS-Installer/

  • Sensics-HMD-CDC-Driver-*.exe - generated by batch file using inf and cat from above, NSIS 3.x compiler, and code signing tools.

This is a simple installer/bootstrap tool that supports installing the inf and cat described above into the system driver store (and onto any matching connected device). It supports x86 and x64, but not ARM or Itanium because it's a native-code-compiled binary.

By default it will pop up some dialog boxes as installers tend to do. For a fully silent install, run with the argument /S (case sensitive), and if you don't want even a UAC prompt either, you should run it as admin/elevated.

Uses dpinst internally, so it will append to the log in %SystemRoot%\DPINST.LOG if you're curious. DPInst, not the NSIS wrapper, is the one that will create the uninstall item in "Programs and Features" aka "Add/Remove Programs".

/Metadata/

Device Metadata (and Device Stage data) - currently has HDK-specific contents, work in progress.

/Combined-Installer/

An NSIS installer for both the CDC driver and metadata, not yet useful here because metadata isn't done.
