edit .inf file

Why do you want to edit the inf-file to exchange the bin-file? You shoud have an installation directory containing these files: ApLoader.SYS, TUSB3210.BIN and the posted inf. Now just replace the old TUSB3210.BIN with your new TUSB3210.BIN and reinstall the driver. This replaces the old TUSB3210.BIN in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS-directory by your new file. Be sure to point to the installation directory during reinstallation. Don't let Windows find the driver ....

editing inf file

I just replace the TUSB3210.BIN in system32\drivers directory everytime i have made a change. Then i unplug and plug in the usb-device and the new firmware is uploaded! Simple as that... no need to edit the inf file.
