Can the USB to serial port name recognized by the computer be changed? [Copy link]

 

I need to debug the 4G module, monitor AT command data, and also monitor GPS data. I have multiple USB to TTL tools plugged into my computer, and I often make mistakes. Is there any way to modify the name?

It seems that the driver file can be modified, but the modification is made together, and the name of a COM port will not be modified separately.

You can buy some USB to TTL modules with other chips, so the names will be different.

Some USB to TTL chips support modifying internal EEPROM data and names, but general models do not support this.

A workaround is to assign a specific serial port number to the USB-to-serial device you are using, and the next time you connect to the system, this serial port number will be automatically used.

It seems that the only way to distinguish them is by chips.

I often forget numbers, the most I can remember is 6

Let’s try using other chips for some important parts first.

Some chips can be renamed in the driver.

6 is not too many. If you are afraid of not being able to remember them, you can use several softwares and save the settings of each software separately so there will be no conflicts.
