Hi all,

i'm new to all the driver thing. I would like to know if it is possible to
have a windows bx to act like a usb device and not a host usb ?

And I would like to know what is the tools to used to develop driver ? I
probably need to have the DDK but do i need to have other tools ?.

regards

Jonathan

Driver development is easy: get the KMDF/DDK package from
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/wdf/KMDF.mspx.

The question of a computer acting as a USB device has been asked before on
this group. The general answer is NO, since the controller hardware is not
set up to be a device. If you want to experiment you are better off
looking at the OSR USB FX2 learning kit see https://www.osronline.com/ then
check store.
