Changing Sparkfun Pro Micro display name on linux with lsusb

Development Boards Other Microcontrollers

I am currently trying to find a way to change how a Sparkfun Pro Micro enumerates and shows up on lsusb in linux. My code uploads fine and works properly so it’s not bricked. I’ve tried changing the boards.txt file to promicro.build.usb_product=“My HID device v0.1”

This changes how it’s displayed on a windows machine when I view devices and printers, but on Linux it shows up something like this:

Bus 008 Device 024: ID 1b4f:9204

Where it only displays the vid and pid. I would like to be able to change this display to:

Bus 006 Device 008: ID 1b4f:9204 My Very Special HID

Is there any place other than boards.txt I should be looking to change? Is there something I need to do differently in boards.txt? Is there something that I need to do differently in LInux?

I’ve found a way to view the Pro Micro on linux by using root and verbose output. However, the manufacturer id is still “Sparkfun.” I’ve changed the platform.txt file to set the build.usb_manufacturer=“Me” and I’ve added the same line to the boards.txt file at the end of the Pro Micro section. I can’t find anywhere that “Sparkfun” is used where it would show up as a manufacturer.
