[George-TL]

CircuitPython version

Code/REPL

# in boot.py file
usb_hid.set_interface_name("HP")

Behavior

USP iInterface field does not change.

Description

According to pull request ffa45de usb_hid.set_interface_name() should work under 9.0.2.

Additional information

@MariuszCwikla what CP version and what hardware was used when testing this feature?

@George-TL are you testing it on windows or on linux?
[linux] can you try running lsusb -vd 239a:80f4 | grep iInterface ?
[windows] I have noticed that windows caches name of the HID device. So if you have plugged in your Pico some time ago, then it will store name in registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\VID_239A&PID_80F4 and basically "ignores" what you set up in boot.py (VID_239A&PID_80F4 are vid/pid of Rasbperry Pico)
Alternatively try changing vid/pid along with set_interface_name:

supervisor.set_usb_identification(manufacturer='me', product='cool device', vid=0xCAFE, pid=0xBABE)
usb_hid.set_interface_name('cool device')

Looks like I was drunk and forgot to add "import usb_hid".
Sorry for the noise.
