The default, unmodified drivers from this site are associate with the VID and PID programmed onto CP210x devices by default. These defaults are listed below:
Device
Default VID
Default PID
CP2101-4/CP2102N
0x10C4
0xEA60
CP2105
0x10C4
0xEA70
CP2108
0x10C4
0xEA71
When attaching a CP210x device, it will be necessary to install drivers associated with the device's VID/PID combination before the device will be properly recognized. In most cases, this involves either downloading and manually installing the default driver, or a driver that has been modified by using the utility found with AN200, here: https://www.silabs.com/support/resources.ct-application-notes.ct-example-code.p-interface
However, it is also possible to automatically download install these drivers using Windows Update. Doing this requires a different set of PIDs to be programmed onto the CP210x devices. This allows a user to merely connect a CP210x device to a Windows machine and be able to use it without having to manually download install drivers. The PIDs that must be programmed to the CP210x device are listed below:
Device
Windows Update VID
Windows Update PID
CP2101-4/CP2102N
0x10C4
0xEA63
CP2105
0x10C4
0xEA7A
CP2108
0x10C4
0xEA7B

Hi,
Is it possible to purchase the CP2102N device with the windows update PID/VID already programmed? If not is there a linux command line utility that we could use to update the VID/PID?
Does changing the VID/PID to the windows update affect which linux driver is loaded (ubuntu 18.04).
Thanks,
Jack
