The all-in-one USB driver for Windows

To build and sign the driver, check that you have the specified requirements installed and follow the steps below.

Requirements

• Inno Setup
• WDK (Required for inf2cat and signtool)
• DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA certificate

Steps

Generate the .cat files from the two .inf files:

• Bump version number in .inf file
• inf2cat /driver:. /os:7_X64,7_X86,8_X64,8_X86,6_3_X86,6_3_X64,Vista_X86,Vista_X64,XP_X86,XP_X64

Install certificates:

• Get the Tidepool certificate.
• Double-click to install.
• Also install the DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA certificate downloaded above, as it's needed to cross-sign the Tidepool certificate.
• You can verify the certificates are installed by running certmgr.

Sign both the .cat files using signtool:

• signtool sign /v /ac "DigiCertHighAssuranceEVRootCA.crt" /s my /n "Tidepool Project" /t http://timestamp.digicert.com tidepoolvcp.cat
• signtool sign /v /ac "DigiCertHighAssuranceEVRootCA.crt" /s my /n "Tidepool Project" /t http://timestamp.digicert.com tidepoolhid.cat

Verify that drivers are correctly signed:

signtool verify /kp /v /c tidepoolvcp.cat amd64\ftser2k.sys
signtool verify /kp /v /c tidepoolvcp.cat i386\ftser2k.sys
signtool verify /kp /v /c tidepoolvcp.cat amd64\silabser.sys
signtool verify /kp /v /c tidepoolvcp.cat i386\silabser.sys
signtool verify /kp /v /c tidepoolvcp.cat amd64\tiusb.sys
signtool verify /kp /v /c tidepoolvcp.cat i386\tiusb.sys
signtool verify /kp /v /c tidepoolvcp.cat amd64\ser2pl64.sys
signtool verify /kp /v /c tidepoolvcp.cat i386\ser2pl.sys

Run InnoSetup:

• Double-click innosetup
• Bump version number
• Build -> Compile

Sign setup.exe:

• Rename Output\setup.exe to Output\TidepoolUSBDriverSetup.exe
• signtool sign /v /s my /n "Tidepool Project" /t http://timestamp.digicert.com Output\TidepoolUSBDriver.exe

Notes

• The build process has only been tested on Windows 8.1.
• If the drivers fail to install, make sure all devices are unplugged.
• You must have administrator privileges to install drivers.
• The DigiCert certificate can also be downloaded from the DigiCert website.
• When you publish the new driver on the website, remember to also whitelist the driver with Symantec.
