Description

I am running a WebUSB web-page. It all works if I use the standard ESP32S3 Dev Module out of the box.

However, if I try to customize the productName and manufacturerName of my ESP32S3 module, then the CLAIM INTERFACE of my web-application does no longer work.

Inside my Web-application (i.e. not so important whtat it does), the interace-claim is important in order to send or receive cmds to or from the ESP32 module.

Normally the interface-Nr is equal to 1 for my ESP32S3 Dev Module. But as soon as I mutate prod- and manuf-Names, then my Web-Application can't claim the interface no more.

await usbDevice.claimInterface(pairedDevice, x);   // normally x=1   ....but not if I mutate prod- and manuf-Names...

I tried x=0....100
All with failure.....

I run this Arduino code (see Sketch below) to customize my productionName and manufacturerName

Any idea how to get the CLAIM INTERFACE running again? Is there more USB cmds that I can apply to maybe define the interface ?

Sketch

#include "USB.h"

void setup() {

    USB.PID(0x1001);
    USB.VID(0x303a);
    USB.productName("MyProduct");
    USB.manufacturerName("MyCompany");    
    USB.begin();
    
    Serial.begin(115200);
    while (!Serial) {
        delay(10);
    }
}

void loop() { 
  delay(1000);
}

Debug Message

My Web-Application throws an error saying something like "The interface of the usb-device cannot be claimed"

Changing VID, PID, ProductName and MnufacturerName is recognized by the HOST Operating System?
Can you see those ids in the USB devices list (lsusb or some other command/GUI)?

Yes, it shows the new productName and is recognized by webUSB.

However, after running above setup, for programming with the ArduinoIDE I need to hardware-reset the ESP32S3 since the port is no longer recognized otherwise... (The HW-reset is done by holding IO0 to GND while connecting to USB and then release IO0 again...)

So in short, other than the inconvenience of needing to hw-reset again and again, the above code works.

However, I have another problem as trying to describe:

The claimInterface is no longer working as it was before. i.e. if I run an ESP32S3 out of the box (i.e. without the above setup but as delivered), the claimInterface works. If I apply the above code, it no longer can find any interfaces. Why ???

Is there a better way to change VID, PID, ProductName and MnufacturerName to keep claimInterface working ?
