ESP32-C: USB VID/PID comercial use

[martin.k]

Hello everyone,

I am currently developing a Iot-Device for a company.
I want to use the integrated USB CDC of the ESP32-C6 to allow a user to configure the device in the field.
Because it is not possible to change the VID/PID on the ESP32-C6 I want to ask if it is allowed from Espressif to use the predefined values in a commercial product?

Thank you, Martin

It is indeed not physically possible to change the VID/PID. If you need to do this, you need an ESP chip with USB-OTG. You can use the Espressif PID/VID in a commercial product if you want, just be aware of the fact that you cannot distinguish your product from e.g. an ESP32 development board by VID/PID alone.

This is perfect.
That we cannot distinguish from other ESP-Boards is no problem, because our terminal program will always check and even authorize over our serial protocol. So in the worst case we may need to check multiple devices until we find the correct one.

Thank you,
Martin
