#Pc idatabase driver
Since it was a life-and-death problem for Linux users, there are many sites where users volunteer to publish hardware ID information.Thanks to that, I am grateful that I was able to identify the driver by the method like this article. (Currently, hardware vendors are working hard to make it work with the initial general-purpose driver.) Therefore, it was necessary to obtain the Internet and technical information using the hardware ID as a hint. I think there were many descriptions of Linux on the site I introduced on the way, but people using Linux systems usually prepared their own drivers. The article is about Windows, but it is the Linux system that makes better use of these. If you can read this, you will be able to obtain various information.
#Pc idatabase how to
This time, I introduced how to search for a driver by hardware ID.Īs the name implies, the hardware ID is the only (unique) character that identifies the device.The computer determines this and uses the driver to actually move it.It's a bit like computer language (?) If you use a general browser, you can easily search by displaying the search bar with "Ctrl + F". Ids in the linked Download, a list of information will appear, so if you search for this, you will be able to find out what kind of device it is. When it comes to the amount of information, I often use these sites.
#Pc idatabase update
Thanks to this mechanism, you can update the driver with Windows Update. The Windows Update Catalog contains not only updates but also driver updates. Find your hardware ID in the Windows Update Catalog It's often not very good to include the firmware version, so it's a good idea to use a second value that omits it.Ī search with this should usually give you information about what kind of device it is. How to find a driver using a hardware ID Search the internet for hardware IDįirst of all, as a quick way to find out, Search for hardware ID as it is on search sites such as GoogleIt is to call. You can get information by reading from here. Then, in the list of values Detailed hardware ID at the top Is displayed. This time, let's open the properties of the graphic device as an example.Ĭlick the "Details" tab of the opened screen to switch screens, and select "Hardware ID" from the list of properties. There are many ways to open it, but I think it's relatively quick to right-click the "Start Button" and then click "Device Manager".įind the device you want in Device Manager and double-click it to open its properties. PID_00D9 seems to be a mouse product line.It seems that the firmware is the first edition. "VID_056E" is ELECOM in human interface device. Example of USB deviceĪs another pattern, the example for a USB device is as follows. I think it will be useful enough for clues when looking for a driver. The firmware version of that hardware.The notation method varies depending on the vendor.Īs shown in this table You can read a lot of informationYou can see that. The number assigned to the vendor.You can see which company made it.Ī number that can be managed within the vendor.You can see which product it is.Ī number that can be managed within the vendor.Used for finer classification than device ID.Often not The above information is summarized in the table below with their meanings and examples.Ī large category of what devices.It often indicates which input / output is used internally. Windows reads this from the hardware and searches for a suitable driver. I have color-coded it, but as shown in the above figure Information separated by \ and &Have their own meanings. The hardware ID is not just an ID, there is some information that can be read from it.Īs an example, let's take a look at Intel graphics. There are so many computer parts out there.A computer is a system that combines such parts.And for each Unique name for the partAs a method of attaching I have a hardware ID.
