Hello All,
I have a custom board with a Quad 16C550 compatible uart on it.
Right now, Post FBA I am going into the control panel and adding the
hardware manually. I have to do this 4 times (one for each port) and then
reboot.

Any suggestions on making a component for this where it will have this
already added in the registry when done with FBA?

Hi David,

If this is PnP card (not some old ISA card) with correctly written drivers.
Then only thing you need to do is to create component that will copy inf,
and sys file in their appropriate directories.

Is this does not help then you will need to add registry values as you
mentioned.

Most driver installation registry changes go to three categories in
System\CurrentControlSet but most important changes fall in Services
category.

You can use regmon to track all changes done on your device during manual
install. And you can use that registry values for creating component.

Also if you want to detect minimum required values that you must use, then
you can read registry file "system." offline and see what values are
persistent between reboots.

Regards,
Slobodan
